Nonrepresentational Art


Nonrepresentational Art is represented through an image that has no relation to the natural or objective world. Beatriz Milhazes's Picabo is a great example of nonrepresentational art. When you look at it, it has no relation to anything that can be seen from your own eye. The basis of Picabo is different colored squares. Milhazes paints over the squares with different objects such as circles and swirls. If you notice in the background, she paints small hearts and flowers. These are the only parts of the artwork that have any relation to the objective world. This makes it very much nonrepresentational.
