nonrepresentational

/nˌɑnɹˌɛpɹᵻzˈɛntˈeɪʃənəl/ adj

That does not represent a physical object realistically.

Word Origin Representational comes from represent, which is re- 'again' + present 'to show.' Nonrepresentational art is art that doesn't try to depict reality — it doesn't present again. The present root is from Latin praesens 'being before,' giving us presence, presentation, and omnipresent. The non- prefix simply negates, like in nonfiction or nonstop.
