Abstract art is nonrepresentational art.
Ornamental art without figurative
representation occurs in most cultures. The
modern abstract movement in sculpture and
painting emerged in Europe and North America
between 1910 and 1920. Two approaches produce
different abstract styles, images that have
been abstracted from nature to the point
where they no longer reflect a conventional
reality, and nonobjective, or pure, art
forms, without any reference to reality.
