Minimalism is a mid-twentieth century artistic movement notable for its extreme austerity and focus on fundamental aspects. The goal is to remove all forms, colors, and textures that are not essential to construct precise works that are as simple as possible. Clean lines, monochromatic colors, and geometric shapes are synonymous with minimalist art, all of which encourage audiences to appreciate simplicity as well as the form itself. In connection with Minimalism, Donald Judd is especially famous for his raw sculptures which represent the relation of space and object. Other notable figures include Agnes Martin whose paintings based on grids evoke a sense of pure meditative calm, as well as Dan Flavin famous for his light installations which are minimalistic in nature and play with light and space. Minimalism is a style which while reigning was extremely transformative and revolutionary, as it was and in some aspects still is a challenge to conventional art making and its philosophy. While advocating and amplifying the purity, control, and precision within art, minimalism transformed modern art, architecture, and design whilst continuing to fuel the essentialist notion of space and beauty.
