Abstract

“Truth in art is the unity of a thing with itself: the out ward rendered expressive of the inward; the soul made incarnate; the body instinct with spirit.” This dictum by Oscar Wilde applies eminently to non-objective art which was able to achieve this unity by making the leap from the canvas to the spirit without the intervening step of subject matter. Non-objective art starts where representational art leaves off. It has the advantage that it does not wrestle with representational elements in addition to spiritual ones, but with spiritual ones alone. Non-objective art, in the hands of its masters, tore the veil from visible nature and presented its animating forces in the process of creation out of chaos or rest.
