In the Eye of the Beholder: Non-Objective Art

 

Non-objective art emerged at the end of 19^th and the dawn of the 20^th century, a time characterized by revolutionary advancements in transportation, communication, architecture, and art. The non-objective style rejects the realistic depiction of the physical world and instead draws upon a purely aesthetic use of color, shape, line, form, space, value, and texture. This style has evolved over the years as artists have made it their own, evidenced by the wide variation in the artwork featured below. Abstraction in its purest form, non-objective art forces the viewer to consider the work of art on an emotional as well as intellectual level. This consideration leads to many different interpretations of works of art depending on the eye of the beholder, making the artworks great fun for everyone regardless of their background.
