Nonobjective Shapes (12)

Nonobjective Shapes
  • Nonobjective: type of artwork with absolutely no reference to or representation of the natural world. The artwork is the reality itself.
  • Shape: A visually perceived area created either by an enclosing line or by color and value changes defining the outer edges.
This makes the viewer appreciate the composition as a visual design.


This is a design that is non objective. All that is in the design is not taken from life and does not have a reference. The same is with the Jackson Pollock painting below.

There is not a realistic reference for this painting which allows the viewer to see it for its design. They are also able to focus on the emotion of the painting instead of interpreting a story and just taking the story from the composition.
