Nonrepresentational Art

Nonrepresentational art is also know as abstract art, the meaning of  nonrepresentational art is subjective which means that it is up for interpretation. This art form doesn't portray any certain person, place, or thing, it is more about imagination and creativity. It began around the 19th century when artists began exploring with color, tones and visual appeal. An example of nonrepresentational art is artist Piet Mondrian's piece Red, Blue, and Yellow, it is a simple piece of just lines and colors. I think that art can be anything, from complex and extravagant to simple. Simple art can be visually pleasing and fresh feeling. I feel that there isn't too much feeling that goes with simple, it for instance, reminds me of the doodling that I do it is just fun to see the finished work.
