Minimal Art

Japanese: ミニマル・アート(英語表記)Minimal Art
Minimal Art
Paintings created mainly in the United States from the early 1960s to the early 1970s, featuring large colored surfaces, simple shapes, and repeated patterns. The term means "minimal art." It is so named because it is based on the minimum basic elements of design, such as monochromatic colors, flat paint, and simple geometric shapes. It was named by the American critic Barbara Rose. It can be considered a reaction against the vulgarity of postwar American expressionism and popular culture, such as pop art.

Japanese:
1960年代前半から70年代初頭にかけてアメリカを中心に制作された,大きな色面,単純な形体,パターンの繰返しなどによる絵画のこと。〈最低限の芸術〉の意。単色,平塗り,シンプルな幾何学的形体といった,基本的な最低限の造形要素に依拠しているところからこの名がある。命名者はアメリカの批評家ローズBarbara Rose。戦後アメリカの抽象表現主義,次いでポップ・アートといった,表現的また大衆文化の猥雑さに富んだ動向に対する反動と考えることができる。
