Minimalism (by Dani)

Minimalism is a movement that started in the 1950s and continued on through the 70s. The style of minimalism is to be very simple with little variation of colors, shapes and lines. The aim of this movement was to allow a viewer to experience the pieces of work more intensely and vigorously without distractions of the composition. The artist wanted no personal attributes displayed in their work. Is sometimes considered ABC art. Minimalism is considered very successful and has been influential to the developement of art in the 20th century.
