Minimalism is an influential art movement that emerged in the 1960s and is characterized by extreme simplicity of form and a deliberate lack of expressive content. This movement rejects traditional ideas of crafting art, often employing geometric shapes, monochromatic color palettes, and materials such as industrial steel or concrete to emphasize purity and austerity. Artists such as Donald Judd and Frank Stella are synonymous with the movement, creating artworks that sought to reject emotional subjectivity in favor of direct, factual presentation. Minimalism extended beyond visual art, inspiring practices in music, literature, and design, and continues to have a significant impact on contemporary culture.
