Exploring the Evolution of Minimalist Design in the Art World
Minimalism in art—identified by its distilled forms and dominant, yet non-complex colors—emerged during the post-World War II Western Art scene. Since then, minimalist design has evolved, grown, and significantly shaped the art world, allowing artists to express deep concepts with only a relative handful of elements.
The beginnings of minimalist design in the art world date back to the late 1950s and the early 1960s, mainly popular in New York. This avant-garde movement, famously known as “minimalism,” rejected the clutter and complexity typical of abstract art of that era. Early minimalist artists include famous names like Frank Stella, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, and Agnes Martin whose work focused on the bare essentials of art – shape, color, and line.
