Minimalism

In this week Stratford Camera Club Executive meeting, we have discussed about the new year's program. One of the topic we would like to discuss is Minimalism. In order to understand more about it, we would like to present you some information here.

I have read a few books about how the name started.

Style of abstract art - characterized by a spare uncluttered approach and deliberate lack of emotive expression or conventional composition - that arose in the mid-twentieth century and flourished mainly until the 1970s. practitioners range from Yves Klein and Lucio Fontana to Ellsworth kelly and Kenneth Noland.
