Even when art was symbolic, or non-figurative, it was usually representative of something. Abstract (non-representational) art is a relatively recent invention, and didn't evolve until the early 20th-century. ...and its present status.... Representational art is thriving.In my opinion (and it is just that: an opinion), representational art is far more viewer-friendly to the vast majority of people than is abstract or conceptual art.We (absolutely including myself) have a higher degree of comfort with art when something recognizable catches the eye and registers.ven when art was symbolic, or non-figurative, it was usually representative of something.

When we bought our house it came with a hot tub. We've been told by numerous people who own hot tubs it costs on average about $30/month to run. At first we wern't to keen on the idea of paying the extra power to run it, but decided to try it out. Turns out we really like it, but it seems to cost more to run than we expected. We've replaced the cover, turn it down when not in use, and put it on econo mode. The hot tub is only 3 years old. Just got our power bill and its showing for months of Dec/Jan we used 68 kw per day!!
1 A hot tub cover cuts heating costs and is also an essential safety feature for homes with children or pets. 2  Covers start around $50-$100, but can run $100-$400 or more, depending on size, materials, energy efficiency and if they lock. 3  Lifters to help move that heavy cover run $100-$300.dditional costs: 1  Empty hot tubs generally weigh 400-1,000 pounds, and usually are delivered on a small trailer. 2  Today many hot tubs are made of acrylic, which is easier to take care of and longer lasting than fiberglass.
