What is the difference between concrete art and abstract art?

While abstract art, in the broadest sense of the word, uses shapes and forms often freely borrowed from the real world in order to take its point across, concrete art dispenses with them altogether, instead focusing solely on ideas that emanate “directly from the mind”.

What was the basic principle of art concrete?

“A pictorial element has no other meaning than ‘itself’ and thus the picture has no other meaning than ‘itself’.” “The work of art must be entirely conceived and formed by the mind before its execution. It must receive nothing from nature’s given forms, or from sensuality, or sentimentality.”

Why is it called Neoplasticism?
