Abstract art is now generally understood to mean
art that does not depict objects in the natural world, but instead uses color 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 of the original natural subject. Such paintings were often claimed to capture something of the depicted objects' immutable
intrinsic qualities rather than its external
appearance. (See
abstraction.) The more precise terms, "non-figurative art," "non-objective art," and "non-representational art" avoid any possible ambiguity.
