Movement Overview

Minimalism emerged as a significant art movement in the post-World War II era, predominantly in the United States. Key figures like Frank Stella, Donald Judd, and Agnes Martin redefined art with their focus on simplicity and use of monochromatic colours and geometric forms. This movement, characterised by its basic, unadorned style, sought to strip art down to its fundamental aspects, challenging traditional art forms. Its influence is still presently felt in various art and design fields, setting the stage for contemporary and postmodern art practices.
