minimalism

GBK English to Serbian Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
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 sentences:
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)

minimalizam, minimalna umetnost

Definition from Wikipedia:
Minimalizam ili Minimalna umetnost (1960-1975), je umetnički pokret koji odbacuje u umetnosti, komentarisanje društva, lični izraz umetnika, narativne elemente ili aluzije na istoriju, politiku ili religiju. Bazira se na stvaranju predmeta, slika i skultura čija je vrednost isključivo estetskog karaktera. Minimalisti su ograničili svoje delovanje na manipulaciju elemenata kao što su boja, tonovi, oblici, linije i tekstura.
Example sentences:
Ako predjemo u drugu polovinu XX veka, prepoznajemo napetost koja postoji izmedju minimalne umetnosti i pop arta, koji koristi ikonicke oblike prikazivanja. (intervju)
