Intro to Abstraction- Emily Shirey

Narrative in artwork means that the piece has a believable story with images that are most likely obvious to the viewer while pieces that are non-narratives do not have any specific meaning. For example they might consist of a bunch of jumbled colors or shapes.

Narrative Work:
Pablo Picasso, Guernica 1937


Non-Narrative Work: 
Mark Rothko, Slow Swim to the Edge of the Sea, 1944

 Slow Swirl by the Edge of the Sea, 1944 by Mark Rothko
