In Thinking in the Abstract, award-winning artist, author and architect Doug Rucker shares his thoughts on what makes art either abstract, realistic or a combination of both, and provides insight into his methodology of appreciating abstract art by considering the intention of the artist and studying the physical artwork.


With dozens of examples of Doug's colorful and wondrous abstract photographic art at its core, and with his light, from-the-heart writing style as a playful, yet informative accompaniment, Thinking in the Abstract gives readers a unique, first-person, artist's perspective and offers a fresh approach to understanding and appreciating the world of abstract art.
