Helpful book for aspiring abstract artists

An enjoyable insight into techniques and strategies for creating abstract paintings. A little superficial but sufficient to whet the appetite.

Look up the author's collages. If you like it then maybe this is your book. If you do not like their work, you will not get much out of this book.
