In an abstract work of art the artistic content depends on internal form rather than pictorial representation. In its pure form, it can be interpreted as any art in which the depiction of real
objects has been entirely discarded and its aesthetic content expressed in a formal pattern or structure of shapes, lines and colors. When the representation of real objects is completely absent, such art may
be called non-objective.

Contemporary art can sometimes seem at odds with a public that does not feel that art and its institutions share its values. In Britain in the 1990s contemporary art became a part of popular culture, with artists
becoming stars, but this did not lead to a hoped for `cultural utopia`. However, some critics like Julian Spalding and Donald Kuspit have become public advocates and suggest that skepticism, even rejection, is
a legitimate and reasonable response to much contemporary art.

to the imaginations of the artist. In 1500A.D the artists made the discovering of making colorful paints by mixing ground natural pigments by using vegetable oil took place. The drying
oils which were utilized in the early days were walnut oil, poppy oil, hempseed oil, castor oil and linseed oil. These oils acted as varnishes for protecting the images and thus it
