Abstract art does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of visual reality. Instead it uses shapes, colours, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect. Abstraction ranges from work that retains traces of the natural world (semi-abstract) to pure non-representation (non-objective). The tradition includes movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Geometric Abstraction, and Colour Field painting.
