11. Abstraction


Franklin Beecham, "The Pond"

Abstraction is a synonym for abstract art. Abstract art is a form of art that does not care about being a literal depiction of the real world. Abstraction may reproduce an object or image from the real world in a different form usually by simplifying its form and ignoring details. This piece depicts a painted vacant piece of land with a picture of a pond surrounded by trees. The blue sky and brown horizontal land are left with no details and completely flat, unlike the real world.
