White Moon, Red Moon - Symbolism in Art

White Moon, Red Moon in acrylic by AV Rotor 2021

Abstract art leads to different interpretations,

each according to ones perception and opinion;

conventional art may also lead to varied notions -

the moon in two colors, beneath, parrots in union. 

Artists faithful to the real scene a vanishing breed,

left by the current of change sweeping the world;

yellow to Picasso a sun, Monet's art could be heard;

Dali's clocks melting and about to fall.  Absurd! 

Art for art sake, and not for its meaning, may belie

symbolism, its role that speaks of man's rise and fall;  

Picasso's Guernica, Berlin wall's graffiti art's cry,

And Van Gogh's paintings, most symbolic of all. ~
