How can an abstract picture be defined if it is abstract?

Answer:

In this case, abstract is not used as a simple definition, but instead as a statement declaring that the picture does not conform to any of the other pre-ordained categories of art. Abstract in the case of art encompasses any works that cannot be classified under any other particular style, and does not act as simply another form of art.
