The thing is that you need to learn to see an artwork as a world in itself. Its not the point of art to 'function' a certain way or to really communicate an obvious message. I believe that anyone can enjoy art, and even if its just 'whoah thats cool' its always good 
and I study graphic design.

Post painterly abstraction was a term they used for a movement of painters in the 60s. They didnt really have a strict ideology but they all had one thing in common: form is absolute. Look up artists such as Frank Stella or Elsworth Kelly if you wanna see it. They wanted to get rid of the 50s and its abstract expressionism. The work was what it was without adding any superfluous value to it, which pretty much makes it the predecessor to minimalism (which was mainly sculptures in that era).

Post painterly abstraction is art that has to be flat, symmetrical, center-dominated, was inspired by Clement Greenberg when he wanted to transform abstract expressionism into something more modernist by answering the questions/challenges proposed by the European styles such as cubism, etc.

Wow, Being an aspiring artist, i have been put against contemporary art by my father (an artist who learn old school in Europe) but even then i can see the depth of the work and appreciate this artist's understanding of space and illusion. Although i prefer art that i has a lot of symbolism and a"realistic" image, i understand why people are interested in this, i still like it less than most other things though, because it seems very limited. (i am in 12 grade this year, going to art school).
