Definition for Neo-abstraction
From Biology Forums Dictionary
Neo-abstraction (mid-1980s) is a conglomerate style, like postmodernism, comprising mostly individualistic approaches. Like the postmodernists, the neo-abstractionists borrow freely from others by modifying or changing the scale, media, or color of older works to give them a new framework and, hence, new meaning. Occasionally, the new meanings include sarcasm and satire and often comment on the decadence of American society in the 1980s.
