Minimalism
The more minimal is art, the more maximum is the explanation.
Minimalism is a form of art in which objects are stripped down to their elemental, geometric form, and presented in an impersonal manner. It is an Abstract style of art which came about as a reaction against the subjective elements of Abstract Expressionism. Minimalism in philosophy indicates a philosophy formed around only a few elements of life as opposed to the full spectrum. People practicing minimalistic philosophies often resort to living life with the bare minimum of what is required to survive.
Minimalist design typically uses a limited number of colors and simple geometric forms. Absence of decor and search for ideal proportions are the basic principles of this style. On the other hand, it is greatly focused on materials. While many believe minimalism to be a movement specific to geometric representations, it extends far outside this constraint.
Architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe adopted the motto “Less is More” to describe the aesthetic tactics of flattening and emphasizing the building's frame, eliminating interior walls and adopting an open plan, and reducing the structure to a strong, transparent, elegant skin.
With minimum number of colors and shapes Minimalism doesn’t make any attempt to symbolize or represent any object or experience. Sometimes it is called ABC Art, minimal art, reductivism, and rejective art.
Minimalism allows expanding the space and accentuating it with the help of simple lines. At the same time it can also accommodate a seductive curve. The design if the interior, including walls, floor, ceiling and other vertical and horizontal surfaces must be clean, crisp and as uninterrupted as possible.
