  • abstract - Genre of visual arts in which figurative subjects or other forms are simplified or changed in their representation so that they do not portray a recognizable person, object, thing, etc.; may reference an idea, quality, or state rather than a concrete object. For the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances, prefer "abstraction." For 20th-century art styles that were a reaction against the traditional European conception of art as the imitation of nature, use "Abstract (fine arts style)."
  • house
  • mannequins - Three-dimensional representations of human figures, often stylized or otherwise abstracted, used by tailors, dressmakers, and sales personnel for fitting or displaying clothing. For models of the human body used for teaching anatomy or demonstrating surgical operations, use "manikins." For jointed figure of humans or animals used by artists, use "lay figures."
