Talk:Abstractionism

Redirect?
The primary meaning of "abstractionism" seems to be art, not philosophy. Since this article is unsourced and not much of an improvement over Abstraction anyway, I propose turning it into a redirect to abstract art, probably with a hatnote to that article. Objections?

 * "abstractionism" has to distinct meanings
 * "the principles or practice of creating abstract art"
 * "the presentation of ideas in an abstract manner"
 * My impression from looking around is that there clearly needs to be an article abstraction (philosophy)

 * I'm too tired right now to ferret out what should be here exactly, but barring further sources for that definition, there seems to be no justification for a full article. The dictionary definitions need to be reachable from here, and there need to be pointers to the relevant articles/sections in art and philosophy. The existing content must be preserved in the appropriate place.
