Minimalism strips art down to its most essential elements — geometric forms, restricted palettes, and precise surfaces — removing anything decorative or expressive in the personal sense. Emerging in the 1960s, minimalism rejected Abstract Expressionism's emphasis on gesture and emotion. Key artists include Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, and Agnes Martin. In painting, minimalist work often explores subtle variations in tone, texture, or colour across a simplified format.
