Minimalism Art
A trend in painting and sculpture that developed primarily in the USA during the 1960s and 1970s. As the name implies, Minimalist Art is pared down to its essential; it is purely abstract, objective and anonymous, free of surface decoration or expressive gesture. Minimalist painting and drawing is mono-chromatic and often draws on mathematically derived grids and linear matrices; yet it can also evoke a sensation of the sublime and of states of being. Sculptors used induxtrial processes and materials, such as steel, perspex, even fluorescent tubes, to produce geometric forms, often made in series. This sculpture has no illusionistic properties, relying instead on a bodily experience of the work by the spectator. Minimalism can be seen as a reaction against the emotionalism of Abstract Expressionism, which had dominated modern art through the 1950s.
