(Extremely Abstract Art)
Definition of Abstract Art- art that does not attempt to represent external,
recognizable reality but seeks to achieve its effect using the elements of art.

2. What is Nonobjective Art?
Nonobjective art is extremely abstract art characterized by its lack of identifiable subject matter. Since you cannot recognize anything in the painting, it relies on the elements of art, which are line, shape, space, form, color, texture, and value, to convey an emotion.

3. Opposite of Nonobjective Art
The opposite of Nonobjective Art is realistic art. Realistic art is defined as the representation of subjects exactly as they are supposed to exist. Realistic art is used to represent human beings, animals, buildings and anything that is thought to exist.
