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

  • Minimalisme is een stroming in de beeldende kunst die vanaf de jaren 1960 vanuit de Verenigde Staten in Europa geïntroduceerd werd. De stroming heeft verwantschap met de fundamentele kunst en was een reactie op het voordien in Amerika hoogtij vierende abstract expressionisme. - Kunstbus  
  • Het minimalisme is in de jaren zestig van de twintigste eeuw ontstaan in de teken- en schilderkunst. Onder invloed van kunstenaars als Donald Judd en Robert Morris werden kunstwerken vervaardigd die gekenmerkt werden door een ontstellende eenvoud. - Architectenweb
