Hello! I have this in my text today. Do you reckon it's the same as 'de caire abstracte'?
"Al cap i a la fi, Maillol va crear per primera vegada en la història una escultura feta només d'escultura i que només volia ser escultura. Una obra ***de caient abstracte***, que no aspira a dir-nos res en concret i que en canvi significa molt, o significa diferent (com certa pintura, música o poesia)."

(a) rather abstract (work)
From the context it seems clear that the idea is the same as "de caire abstracte" (as you suggest).
Also:
m 1 1 Manera de caure la roba, un vestit. La seda té molt bon caient.
2 fig El caient d'una frase.

Note the second figurative meaning.
