Art and minimalism and everything related:Art is like the mirror of a society, in many ways. It has always been identifiable and representative of the aspirations of a particular era. That society influences art is obvious. The fact that art seeks to influence social and cultural phenomena speaks to its affective power. Minimalism was a logical development of trends that began in the early 20th century – most notably, in architecture with the Bauhaus and Mies Van Der Rohe's philosophy of "Less is More". There was a new way of seeing things, challenging old ideas of form and style. This philosophy was absorbed into the artistic flow, which was freed from its classical connections and where minimalism became influential in several genres. In this essay, I have attempted to look for a sustainable minimalist influence on contemporary design - an obvious but interesting connection and in contemporary music - a not so obvious influence. Minimalist Art in the Late 20th Century - Common Concepts: By the late 1960s, it had been established that minimalism was not about representation but interpretation. It had a density of subjects that was not immediately revealed to the viewer. It was simple, clean and geometric and sought to express its underlying structure. And now it was also about the relational aspects of the work. This was exemplified in the works of Donald Judd. (his work with cubes and boxes) Repetition and progression were key elements. Richard Serra'a's works, on the other hand, relied on the power of (extreme) materiality to evoke a response. (Union of the Bull and the Sphere, Consequence) On the other hand, Sol Lewitt attempted to purify the artist's hand and present art in an emotionless and impartial form for...... half of paper ...his work is soft, fluid, organic and human rather than geometric. Ecominimalism is a term that is gaining popularity and represents a realistic and economical approach to going green in buildings. It is somewhat ironic that many of its leading propagators have refused to be associated with the term minimalist. (Reich and Ando in particular) This could be that the term was used derogatorily, in its early versions. The general public considered it cold, sterile and abstract. Today, while remaining essentially simple, it is no longer narrow and ascetic. Minimalism has become a broad and increasingly nuanced philosophy. The idea of simplicity is interpreted in different ways, using a wide variety of media. I therefore think that with research further possibilities for evolution will open up. Minimalism is definitely here to stay for a while yet’.
