Non-objective art does not contain a recognizable subject. Rather, the artist manipulates the elements of art (color, shape, line, form, space, value, texture) by using the principles of design (balance, repetition, unity, rhythm, proportion, harmony, variety, emphasis, movement). [Note: There are many different beliefs about which words make up the elements and principles of art and design.] The word "non-objective" can be broken down, literally, into the words "no object." When one looks at a non-objective piece of artwork, they will see various arrangements of lines, shapes, colors..etc. Sometimes these compositions make a pattern or design. Many people believe that non-objective art is not "real art," but non-objective artwork can be found in the rugs we buy for our homes, the prints on our clothing, and the covers of notebooks, folders, and CD's. Jackson Pollack and Piet Mondrion were two artists with non-objective styles.

How does a nonobjective work of art become the least abstract form of art?

A truly abstract work of art is derived from an actual object or things in the real world, something found in nature that the artist has 'abstracted'. A non objective work of art has no ties to any real world objects or things and so it is not an abstraction of anything, it is aptly named, non objective.

What is the difference in nonobjective art and literal art?

Literal art would involve at least some form that is recognisable e.g. a bird. Non objective work is unrecognisable as anything other than itself e.g. a black square. The problem of course is that a black square may look like other black squares or as you may have imagined a black square to look or indeed the night sky. Hence is there really such a condition as non-objective for socialised humans?
