Abstract
In this chapter I concentrate on mapping sentence descriptions of abstract art. In offering potentially valid and useful explanations for understanding the experiential process of viewing abstract art, I do not propose a single model of the entire abstract art experience; rather I offer multiple context-specific mapping sentences. Finally, I suggest a mapping sentence of Crowther’s componential ontology for art abstraction. From this mapping sentence I extend my enquiries to consider the partial ordering of elements of my modelling of Crowther’s ontology. The chapter closes by claiming that mapping sentences and partial ordered diagrams of art experience provide an approach capable of producing greater understanding of abstract fine art as experienced phenomena.
