ABSTRACT PAINTING AND ABSTRACT POEM Abstract art is now generally understood to mean art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color and form in a non-representational way.In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way-keeping only an allusion of the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance.
The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity.
Just for example you can see any of the abstract paintings available in the net or any painting gallery in your area.
Just to get an idea about abstract poetry we can see the book; Ezra Pound: The Value of Incoherence; by M.L. Harvey, Ph.D..
While explaining Pound's abstract poetry Harvey says:
;Consider, though, the contribution Ezra Pound made to the development of modern abstract poetry in English. An abstract poem requires loose ends. Loose ends are what keep the sometimes oppressive linearity of logical structure at bay. A loose end is a discontinuity--". . .of this/A few words, an and yet, and yet, and yet" (Stevens). In our daily lives, which are filled with loose ends, we attempt to make sense of more than we can make sense of. Ultimately, we assume that everything makes sense or will make sense. We forget the dream images that fade into nonsensicality.
We overlook the non squirter in conversation. No matter that the current paradoxical discussions of quantum mechanics urge us to believe that light has knowledge or that someday free will and determinism will coexist simultaneously in the same syllogism--we proceed as best we can to make sense of everything using our own current tools for thinking to create clear, rational linearity. And before abstract art came into being, these habits of ours, more or less, reigned in the art world.
