History of minimalist style:

MINIMALISM (lat. minimus - the smallest) is a design style characterized by conciseness, simplicity, accuracy and clarity of composition. With the help of simple forms, as well as functional objects, Europe tried to displace the Art Nouveau style, characterized by romance, ornateness and spirituality. 

Romanticism is being replaced by functionalism, they begin to appreciate the properties of the object, and not its aesthetic qualities. Minimalism is the brightest and most controversial style of the second half of the 20th century.

Rejecting classical creative techniques and traditional art materials, minimalists use industrial and natural materials of simple geometric shapes, neutral colors (black, gray) and small volumes. The origins of minimalism lie in constructivism and functionalism. One of the most popular ethnic varieties of minimalism is Japanese minimalism.

The most prominent representatives of the minimalist style: Karim Rashid, Naoto Fukasawa, Peter Zumthor. Minimalism also took the form of the "minimal art" art movement that emerged in New York in the 1960s. 

Art included geometric forms stripped of all symbolism, repetition, neutral surfaces, industrial materials. Minimal artists include Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Saul LeWitt, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, and the sometimes credited Frank Stella.
