Detailed Description
Minimalist art originated in the late 1950s as an antidote to excess. It stripped art of unnecessary embellishments, focusing solely on fundamental elements. Artists like Donald Judd and Agnes Martin redefined visual storytelling through restraint. Their creations, often large and stark, possess an elegant austerity. This style invites contemplation, challenging one to find meaning in less rather than more. It explores the interplay of light and shadow, inviting viewers to find beauty in simplicity.
