Minimalism emerged around the mid-20th century, during a time of great change in the art scene that began to reject the former trend of Abstract Expressionism.
Geometric lines are one example of a characteristic of Minimalist art and this display of geometry, symmetry, and hyperfocus on measurement is considered a crucial aspect.
Minimalist art was and is not loved by all. While receiving both praise and hate, this radical art movement drew much attention regardless of which side of favor it fell on.
Minimalism can be regarded as having a profound impact on the aesthetic of Modernism. By introducing new ways of experiencing art, Minimalism gave way to the development of its philosophy and way of life.
