Question

Can works that have no recognizable subject --nonobjective works -- be considered art?

Answer 1

Yes.  Note Jackson Pollock.

Answer 2

Certainly, some of the most famous 20th century artists created nonobjective works. Rothko, Pollack. In fact Abstract Expressionism is considered one of the primary art movements of the late 20th century.

I do think that movement is over. How much paint splashed on canvas can you stand?
