abstract (general art genre) (<genres in the visual arts>, <concepts in the arts and humanities>, Associated Concepts (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Genre of visual arts in which figurative subjects or other forms are simplified or changed in their representation so that they do not portray a recognizable person, object, thing, etc.; may reference an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object. For the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances, prefer "abstraction." For 20th-century art styles that were a reaction against the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature, use "Abstract (fine arts style)." |

Additional Notes: |

Portuguese ..... Gênero de artes visuais em que os sujeitos figurativos ou outras formas são simplificados ou alterados em sua representação para que não retratem uma pessoa, objeto, coisa, etc. reconhecível; pode referenciar uma ideia, qualidade ou estado, em vez de um objeto concreto. Para o processo de formulação de conceitos gerais, abstraindo propriedades comuns de instâncias, prefira "abstração". Para estilos de arte do século XX que foram uma reação contra a concepção européia tradicional de arte como imitação da natureza, use "Abstrato (estilo de belas artes)". |
