Reflection 02

What I learned from the abstraction works of artists in 1950s France is how they abstracting the important elements in cartographic maps to their drawings. 

One of the important features of the site is the plantations that located northern and southern to the  industrial complex. Although once the industrial district was considered rural and even isolated, Cinclare is now pressed by development on several fronts. However, the immediate area surrounding the district is still planted in sugar cane, thus retaining much of its historic appearance.

Invention 02 French abstraction of 1950s

In the 1940s, these painters experimented with abstraction and large format canvases loaded with paint, pattern, and texture. They worked in Paris after the Second World War, a time of intense creativity and renewal in France. 

·What I want to learn from these works is how they use and overlap paint, pattern, texture on the canvases. I could use the same method to try to abstracting the important elements in cartographic maps and other landscape features of the site.
