4. Description Movement of postmodernist art Rejection of metaphorical associations, symbolism, and suggestions of spiritual transcendence. These simple works used minimal techniques to communicate more what the artist felt in response to the war or another issue than it reflected the artist’s technical capabilities. Minimalism was a reaction against the formal overkill and pretentiousness of Abstract Expressionism. It had roots in Pop art, Cubism, and Conceptual art.

5. Minimalist art strived to create an object with presence, something that can be seen at its basic physical appearance and appreciated at face value. the artists believed that the viewer’s personal reaction to the object was of higher importance, and thus strove to eliminate the presence of the creator in their work.

6. Characteristics The art composition is simplified by reducing the number of colors, lines, values, textures, and shapes so that the observer can readily identify the central concept or message.
