The space of the painting is usually simple and unloaded.Ĭolour in minimalism performs the task of zoning the space, rather than expressing emotions or transmitting moods. Paintings are often characterized by asymmetry, repetition of various geometric figures. Russian constructivism, on a wave of increased interest in it, encouraged artists to widely use industrial materials to express their ideas. First of all, it is the expressiveness of colors, as well as smoothness and geometricity.
As a result, its main features were formed. Gradually, minimalism distanced itself from all other styles of painting. geometric rigor and slenderness (an optional but typical condition).the desire to erase the boundaries between painting and sculpture (in its most lapidary forms).a simple palette (the artists sought to use pure colors).simple geometrical forms (straight lines, cubic designs dominated).The conceptual features of the style became: Minimalists sought to convey the essence of the depicted objects, cutting off everything that, in their view, distracted attention from the main. Malevich’s work and the trends of the Bauhaus school have also influenced the development. The origins of minimalism lie in such currents as pop art and suprematism. He singled out this direction, analyzing the creativity of the artists who go in their works by the least interference with the world around them. The author of the term “minimalism” was a British philosopher and art historian Richard Walheim. They considered their art to be objective. Minimalists decided to cleanse abstractionism of expression, emotionality, subjectivism, and complexity of forms. Minimal art emerged as a protest against abstract expressionism in the 1940s and 1950s. Interestingly, the new direction was not just a development of minimalist ideas that had been voiced earlier.
