is abstract dead?

How is abstract art dead?
I was feeling like making a trip to a museum or gallery to see some inspiring work in person. Made a search for a 300km max distance, spend hours looking through all this shit and found ZERO shows that aren't abstract or highly conceptualized weird shit.
abstract painting cant die, it is the by product of an intuitive developmental process (expeshaly for color mixing. Finding the point of a sloppy mess is a metaphor for life. Saying Abstract is dead is like saying the examination of life is dead.
definitely dead on /ic/

What medium is paper with very little tooth, or very smooth, good for?
>>2509883
charcoal imo, but some people prefer a tooth. I find detail drawing very difficult on toothed paper unless im drawing on a big scale.
Pen and Ink
Markers

You paid too much. You should've used toilet paper or napkins. If you're just starting out, you don't need all this fancy equipment.

Where should I start researching and learning about art history?
I have absolutely zero background in visual art (I studied music and literature), but I'm really keen to start. Obviously this is hugely overwhelming, especially as a beginner. Are there any resources you'd recommend that are geared towards absolute beginners? Something like a "For Dummies" book.
I'm looking to study all the important movements, key figures, their techniques, key pieces, different mediums, social and cultural contexts, that kind of thing.
I checked out...

Honestly for just a casual overview Wikipedia is surprisingly good. The fact that it is full of links too is useful since you can start looking at more art and artists that are relevant as you go.
Start here and read the main articles for each section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_painting
If you already have studied music history then there will be some overlap since art movements are not restricted to one type of art (ie there is Baroque art and music, and there are stylistic similarities).
In...

Thanks for your words! Honestly, I'd never of thought to check Wikipedia. This is exactly what I was after. Like you said, the external references are perfect, too.
Could you point me towards any physical books that you think might be useful?

Sorry I never took an art history course that required a textbook so can't suggest anything. I am more familiar with artists from history as opposed to the actual history itself, if that makes sense. If there is an artist I like I will read their biography (either online or a book) and I will look up other artists associated with that person. Mostly I look at their art though. If you keep this up you can start to find many connections between people and get a sense of shifts in art through history. And while some...

I mean let's face it, artists like Sakimichan and others may not have great drawing skills but I want to know some of their painting techniques. I don't want to pay though, so anyone got any of her tutorials they can dump for a cheapskate anon like me?
Tutorial dump central if not.
fuck off
