Abstract art is art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses colour and form in a non-representational way.

In the very early 20th century, the term was more often used to describe art, such as Cubist and Futurist art, that depicts real forms in a simplified or rather reduced way-keeping only an allusion to the original natural subject.

Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable intrinsic qualities rather than its external appearance.

The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity.

The most common understanding of abstract art is as a phenomenon of 20th century. Nowadays, it is possible for any person to make an abstract art provided he/she is skilled in photoshop(or similar digital image manipulating software) and also with some artistic imagination and background.

"Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult. It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colours, and that you be a true poet. This last is essential."

- Wassily Kandinsky
