The document discusses abstract art and provides examples of abstract works. It notes that abstract artists did not try to depict objects realistically, but rather used color and shape to convey emotions. Abstract or non-objective art does not depict specific objects, but rather uses forms and colors without representing anything in the real world. Examples of abstract artworks by Sol LeWitt are provided, including wall drawings and incomplete open cubes, which reduce forms to basic geometric shapes presented in an impersonal way.

3. Abstract Art
• Abstract artists felt that paintings did not have to
show only things that were recognizable. In their
paintings they did not try to show people, animals,
or places exactly as they appeared in the real world.
• They mainly used color and shape in their paintings
to show emotions. Some Abstract art is also called
Non-objective art. In non-objective art, you do not
see specific objects. It is not painted to look like
something specific.
