Representational artworks depict real objects or subjects in a recognizable manner, often aiming to capture their likeness or appearance. These artworks may be lifelike or more interpretive but still represent identifiable objects.
Abstract artworks, on the other hand, do not attempt to represent objects or subjects in a realistic or recognizable way. They emphasize the use of lines, shapes, and colors to create compositions that may be non-representational or non-objective in nature. Abstract art often focuses on expressing emotions, ideas, or concepts rather than depicting specific objects.
Nonrepresentational artworks, also known as non-objective or nonfigurative art, completely detach from any representation of real objects or subjects. They do not aim to portray or imitate anything from the physical world. Instead, nonrepresentational artworks emphasize purely formal elements, such as line, shape, color, texture, and their relationships. These artworks are open to interpretation and may evoke different emotions or responses in viewers.
