Artists by Movement:
Minimalism

Emerged in the 1960's

Minimalism is a style of art in which objects are stripped down to their elemental, geometric form, and presented in an impersonal manner. It is an Abstract form of art which developed as a reaction against the subjective elements of Abstract Expressionism

Andy, could you give me/us some idea of minimalism in photography.

I would like to practice.

    I have entered these into minimalism challenges. The last one is a bit of a
    stretch, but with a little work, turning it a little more high key, it would be Ok.

    I'm not sure what you mean by "have". But sure, knock yourself out.
    I'm sure you can make one that will look better than this one. Good luck.

    The one that's really starting to grow on me is this one. I may have to go out
    and see if I can make one like it during the challenge.
