What Is Abstract?

I met a professor who used elaborate gear to take gigapixel composites of flat concrete surfaces, with texture but without perspective. Intentional wordplay on “concrete” and “abstract”. A how-to book from a local library said the essential challenge in abstraction was division of the plane. This guy I just googled,

distinguishes Representational (realistic), Abstract (distorting reality), and Non-Objective (devoid of reality). Maybe Hilla Rebay would agree.
