We may grant that colours have their own independent offering to make to us. We can understand that, in a search for being different, forms and images derived from the world are rejected and that, in a revolutionary protest against enslavement by the past, chaos and anarchy seem preferable, even though most of us would emphatically disagree. But who can understand why so many people have come to accept and live with modern abstract art in the numerous instances where charlatanry and commercialism masquerade so blatantly under this title?
