Abstract art is any art that emphasizes design and a simplified or systematic investigation of forms. The subject matter may be recognized or may be transformed into shape, color and line. Abstract art is however based on real objects and forms. Abstract Art
Nonobjective Art Any art that has no recognizable subject matter such as trees, flowers, or people. The actual subject matter might be color or the composition of the work itself.
