Minimalism

Minimalism sculptures are three-dimensional abstract artworks that are characterized by their simplicity and use of basic geometric shapes: 

  • Materials: sculptures are often made from industrial materials like metal, plastic, aluminum, concrete, or fiberglass. These materials are usually left raw or painted a solid color. 
  • Shapes: sculptures are often based on simple geometric shapes, like squares and rectangles. 
  • Perspective: Minimalism sculptures can be viewed from all angles, and the way light, shadow, and perspective play with them can change their appearance. 
  • Purpose: Minimalism art is linked to the ideas of truth, simplicity, and honesty. It focuses on basic elements, removing anything that is not essential to the art. 
The Minimal Art movement emerged in the 1950s and 1960s in the United States. It was in part a reaction against the painterly subjectivity of Abstract Expressionism. The term “minimalism” comes from the Latin word minimus, which means “smallest” or “least”. 
Some artists associated with the Minimalist movement include Donald Judd, Carl Andre, and Tony Smith
