Minimal Art emerged as a movement in the 1950s and continued through the sixties and seventies.
It is a term used to describe paintings and sculptures that thrive on simplicity in both content and form, and seeks to remove any design of personal expressivity.
The aim of minimalism is to allow the viewer to experience the work more intensely without the distractions of composition and theme.
Minimal art is related to a number of other theories such as conceptual art in the way exists merely to convey a theory, Pop Art in their shared fascination with the impersonal and Land Art in the construction of simple shapes.
Minimal Art proved highly successful and has been enormously influential on the development of art in the 20th century.
