The Minimalism art movement is one of the most influential of the 1960s and 70s, among a number of artists who were moving away from Abstract Expressionism, favoring a sleek, geometric aesthetic instead. These artists wanted to create art that referred only to itself, allowing the viewer an immediate, purely visual response. The personal, gestural elements of Abstract Expressionism were stripped away with the aim to reveal the objective, visual elements of art. Important Minimalist artists include Donald Judd, Frank Stella, Sol LeWitt. less DIMENSIONS 61ʺW × 3ʺD × 40ʺH STYLES AbstractMinimalismModern ART SUBJECTS AbstractGeometric FRAME TYPE Framed PERIOD 1970s COUNTRY OF ORIGIN United States ITEM TYPE Vintage, Antique or Pre-owned MATERIALS CharcoalOakPastel CONDITION Good Condition, Original Condition Unaltered, Some Imperfections COLOR Blue TEAR SHEET CONDITION NOTES Wear consistent with age and use.
