Q. Which Piece is Non-Objective Art?

A. All of them. What is non-objective art? Is it Abstract Art? Oceanic Tendencies by Shawn McNulty

What is Non-Objective Art? Art that is not representational, containing no recognized figures or objects. Art whose subject matter does not resemble an object. Non-objective art ranges between Abstract Expressionist artists to Minimalists or Op-artists.

Is it Abstract Art? A work of art created to NOT represent anything realistic is called Non-objective. A non-objective work is not only abstract, it is made up of some of the Elements of Art without giving any importance to the subject. Abstract art is using a realistic object and transforming its appearance.
