As an abstract painter I often reach into my deep melancholy emotion and the energy that flows out is often more colorful than If I am in a good mood. I could understand that in reflection a collector chooses a particular period of work, but does that reflect their current mood? As a tragically feeling person I expect that art has the ability to create an experience that is equivalent to their mood. While my art is often very colorful, my collectors may feel both melancholy or exuberance from the same piece. What would motivate buyers to buy drab to stay drab? To corroborate your sentiments, what is important is to have depth in a piece to provide a lasting impression that can evolve with the collector. I always recommend buying a piece that you connect with and I often attract collectors looking for bright and shiny works. Thank you for this well presented argument, but here is to a happier and more cheerful tomorrow.
