Abstract are is defined as art that depicts natural objects in simplified, distorted, or exaggerated ways. We can see an example of this type of art from the late 19th early 20th century in Figure 1.13 called the Chief’s stool (3) from Cameroon. With any art form there is a possibility that it can be created in a variety of different ways. As we see can see the Chief’s Stool represents form of leadership and royalty. Yet in Theo Van Doesburg’s Abstraction of a Cow Series, Figure 1.14 (4) we see an entirely different way to display art but with many ways of seeing the same object.
