∙ 13y agoThere are different types of abstract work - formal, lyrical and spiritual. Some formal painters had very spiritual intentions (like Mondriaan or Malevitsch). Still, much of our utility buildings etc. looks much like mondriaans work, and there's not much spirituality about that, is there.
Non-objective is a term more used before ww2, where abstraction was still used to get loose from the old classical realistic way of painting. After ww2, a new start was made in art history - then intentions within abstract art became much more formal and ideological - and less spiritual/idealistic.
