I did run into many self-entitled important people, who associates Art with abstract-thinking. Only they do not know what abstract means. So, the association is mostly derogatory.
Is there anything more abstract than mathematics?
From American English
Mathematics :
pluralnoun [ usu. treated as sing. ]
the abstract science of number, quantity, and space. Mathematics may be studied in its own right (pure mathematics), or as it is applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering (applied mathematics).
• [ often treated as pl. ] the mathematical aspects of something: the mathematics of general relativity.
ORIGIN late 16th cent.: plural of obsolete mathematic ‘mathematics,’ from Old French mathematique, from Latin (ars) mathematica ‘mathematical (art),’ from Greek mathēmatikē (tekhnē), from the base of manthanein ‘learn.’
