The antonyms for the word "more pictoric" can be "less visual", "non-pictorial", "non-representational", "non-figurative" or "abstract". These words represent a departure from the classical understanding of art as the imitation or representation of reality. In such cases, the focus is less on the visible aspect of things and more on the non-imagery aspect of expression, such as concepts, emotions, values or ideas. For instance, an abstract painting uses form, color and texture to express non-representational qualities, rather than to copy the appearance of the surrounding world. Similarly, non-figurative art renounces the human figure or natural landscape in favor of geometric or stylized forms.
