It's just that I think abstraction can be used as an easy escape route for people who are afraid to try more straightforward expression because they actually have nothing interesting to say. So I'm hypercritical if an abstract form of expression starts to become a "bandwagon" thing.

yeah, i partially agree with you. but it's hard to know motives |

Most of Dali's paintings are not actually very abstract. They're often surreal and fantastic, but still basically representational.
Kandinsky and Picasso are better examples of abstract artists. |

No. Dali is not a very good example of an abstract artist. His paintings are mostly figurative and representational and depict "physical" objects, even if those objects come from dreams, hallucinations, or fantasies. |

Dali is in no way, shape, or form an abstract artist.
I can't think of a single work he's done that could be classified as anything other than surrealist. |

haha yeah. in most galleries, surrealism is classified with figurative realism. abstraction is different than surrealism. surrealism might be the equivalent to vocoding someone's voice. abstraction would be using filters on the sound of a piece of hitting the ground to make vocalics
you basically have figurative/realist art, abstract art, conceptual art, and graphic art
and then hotel art
actually i think it translates pretty well to music as well |

Big Thumb, Beach, Moon, and Decaying Bird is pretty much abstract.
All of his famous works are surrealist, though. |

But what about "art you see on the walls of an elementary school principal's office?"
What I am really asking is -- who is the Thomas Kinkade of EDM?

You can start it. I've been doing a lot of "general music discussion" topics lately.
