Exploring the Concept of Minimalism: From Art to Lifestyle
Do you have minimalist art?
“Less is more.” -Mies Van Der Rohe, 1886.
What is minimalist photography?
Like other forms of minimalist art, minimalist photography is about removing a subject down to its essence. They are photos with clean lines, empty spaces, and only the essential elements.
“Make things as simple as possible but no simpler.” -Albert Einstein, 1879.
Minimalism is a design and lifestyle movement that emphasizes simplicity, clarity, and a focus on the essentials.
In design, minimalism involves using only the necessary elements to achieve a clean, uncluttered look.
In lifestyle, minimalism involves living with fewer possessions and simplifying one’s life to focus on the things that truly matter.
The term “minimalism” originated in the 1960s as an art movement that rejected traditional forms of expression in favor of simple, geometric shapes and monochromatic color schemes.
Since then, the concept has been applied to various fields, including architecture, interior design, fashion, and even personal finance.
