Abstract
The painting titled "Untitled" exemplifies Minimalism, a movement that seeks to reveal the core essence of a subject by eliminating all non-essential forms. Using simplified Wood or Oil techniques, artists focus on pure geometric shapes and subdued color schemes, often reacting against Abstract art and abstract tendencies of earlier movements like Abstract expressionism. This work embodies the principles of post–World War II Western art, emphasizing simplicity and essentiality, with some artists viewing it as a critique of overly complex or sentimental art forms.
