Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Additional field(s): Architecture
English term or phrase: minimalism
Definition from Bluemoon Art Glossary:
A movement and style of art from the 20th century which attempts to reduce art to the basic geometric shapes with the fewest colors, lines, and textures. Minimal art does not seek to be representational of any object.

Example sentence(s):
  • Though never a self-proclaimed movement, Minimalism refers to painting or sculpture made with an extreme economy of means and reduced to the essentials of geometric abstraction. Guggenheim Museum
  • The reduction of form, the controlled gesture and emotional outburst, the rationalistic behaviour and a sensibilized minimalism – these were the main features of an entirely different standpoint from the one dominating the painting of the preceding decade. Sava Stepanov ON MINIMALISM
  • While many people tend to associate minimalism with painting, the principle is also applied in the creation of musical compositions, theatrical performances, and even interior design. WiseGeek

Definition from Hebrew Wikipedia:
מינימליזם הינו זרם באומנות החזותית, בעיצוב, בקולנוע, באדריכלות, במוזיקה ובשירה, שהופיע לראשונה בשנות ה-50 של המאה ה-20, פרח בשנות ה-70 וממשיך להיות עד היום תנועה המשפיעה סגנונית ורעיונית בכול ענפי התרבות העכשווית.

Example sentence(s):
  • המושג מינימליזם מתייחס לסגנון אמנותי, ללא ביטויי רגשי או אישי, לרוב בעל ארגון גאומטרי של צורות, ושימוש בחומרים המעובדים בצורה תעשייתית או שימוש בטכנולוגיה חדשה. מינימליזם הופיע בארצות הברית כתגובת נגד לאקספרסיוניזם המופשט, המתאפיין בביטוי עצמי, סובייקטיביות ורגשנות המתבטאים במשיכות מכחול ספונטניות. - מפגשים  
  • אם כך, האתגר להפעם הוא "מינימליזם" , ואני אסביר: המינימליזם אומר - פשטות, צורה, נקיון, סדר. לא חייב להיות אבסטרקט, לא חייב להיות מאקרו, לא חייב להיות סטודיו. מינימליזם היא העיקרון הבסיסי שבו הפשטות היא כל החוכמה. - Fresh
