Do you know the difference between "abstract" and "non-objective" artwork? I didn't know there was a difference until I watched this video:
So, looking at my own work, this is a small sampling of abstract work I've created:
And these are a few examples of non-objective work I've made:
I find this to be a fascinating bifurcation. I see that I do tend towards abstract, though I have made more non-objective work in recent years. How about you? Are you a realistic, abstract, or non-objective artist?
Thanks for stopping by!
Very interesting. I didn’t understand how many styles of art that abstract art actually encompasses – it boggles my mind. I guess I thought what is considered non-objective art was the only kind of abstract art there is & now I learn that Impressionism is a kind of abstract art! (At least that was my takeaway from her lecture).

On the other hand, painter Ian Roberts, author of the book “Mastering Composition” and many YouTube videos on the same subject, says that all art is abstract art, because it’s all abstracted from reality. The two kinds of art he talks about are representational and non-representational. (See him explain here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-Cc2SxDofk&list=PLpU7289s1Pzkm3rJnCC69Bx0LITgIV7I9&index=123) His approach seems a lot clearer to me.

I think its great that there are so many different points-of-view and different kinds of teachers.

That was a really informative and helpful video. I will have to look for more of her videos. I tend to be a realistic artist and I guess I would tend towards abstract, rather than non-objective if I ventured away from more realistic art. Thank you for sharing.
