Keywords
Click a term to view the records with the same keyword- Abstract (fine arts style) - Refers to art styles that were a reaction against the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature. In the strictest sense, the term refers to 20th-century Western painting, sculpture, or graphic art that does not include forms that represent objects from the visible world. The term is sometimes applied to art in which natural forms are only simplified or changed in their representation, but not eliminated entirely. For the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances, use "abstraction."
