Realism can be considered the opposite of an abstract painting. One must distinguish between abstract or realistic subject and rendering effect. The subject of a painting is what is being painted, the rendering effect is how the painting looks when done. When using a realistic rendering the artist tries to depict what he sees as closely as possible rendering the work to look photo-realistic. One could use a realistic rendering to paint a picture of a mountain that does not actually exist so that it looks real. Sometimes in "surrealism" a realistic rendering is used but the subject is is fantastical or abstract.

The word abstract implies an idea that is not fully formed in the mind or that is not fully understood or that is only loosely associated with reality. An "abstract" concept can be considered opposite of a "concrete" one. Abstract paintings are rendered so that the picture is not fully formed and only loosely associated with the subject. For example a round shape in an abstract painting might represent the earth, but may not be painted to look like the earth. That would be an example of abstract rendering. If the subject were abstract the painting may try to depict something that is hard to describe such as the shared relationship of all man-kind or dreams without depicting any particular dream. From a political standpoint abstract painting is often associated with the liberal arts while traditional rendering techniques and subjects are associated with the conservative.
