non-objective art

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

non-objective art

Art that is not representational, containing no recognizable figures or objects. The term has become less popular, but was originally used to describe a type of abstract art, influenced by cubism, that eliminated the idea of depth, and instead concentrated on composing a harmonious arrangement of grids, shapes, and colour. The nonobjective neoplasticism of Piet Mondrian's rigidly geometric paintings, such as Composition in Blue, Yellow, and Black (1936; Kunstmuseum, Basel), are an example.
