What is non-objective art?

Is it Abstract Art?

Oceanic Tendencies by Shawn McNulty

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.

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.
