About this artwork
Do titles of paintings matter?
Realistic painters tend to stick to realistic titles - The Mona Lisa; The Last Supper; Saviour of the World (Leonardo da Vinci).
When Abstract Expressionists are stuck for a title they may just give a picture a number - 'Number 17a', 'No 5' (Pollock) or 'No 5/No 22' (Rothko) or, worse, call a picture ‘Untitled’ and then add a number - 'Untitled-1', 'Untitled 5' (Pollock) or 'Untitled No 11' and 'Untitled #15'… (Rothko).
Dali, a Surrealist was, counter intuitively, an abstract expressionist when it came to titles - 'The Persistence of Memory', 'Metamorphosis of Narcissus' and 'Dream Caused By The Flight Of A Bee Around A Pomegranite A Second Before Awakening'.
But what’s in a name? Boring title, boring picture? Why describe an abstract painting, which has no basis in reality, when it basically describes itself?
Anyway this is the radio active metallic element Actinium as not seen through an electron microscope.

« MODERN ART = I COULD DO THAT + YEAH BUT YOU DIDN'T. -Craig Damrauer »
Steve White, a painter based in the Netherlands, has extensively exhibited his works nationally, as well as in the United Kingdom. While he appreciates that art can stir emotions and have great meaning for people, he has a more practical approach to creation. For example, one of the tests he does for his own works is simple - he asks himself, "Would this look good over someone's sofa?". White's abstract realist compositions also combine elements of minimalism.
