9 Minimalist Posters for the Perfect Scandinavian Home
Minimalism as a movement has gained serious traction and popularity over the last 5 or so years. Think about it. Minimalist fashion and clothing, minimalist wallets and backpacks, minimalist interior design. Living a minimalist lifestyle has even crept into many of our lives!
Minimalism has become a buzzword for sure, but that doesn’t mean we should disregard it.
A background to minimalism
Minimalism as an art movement was born in New York in the 1960s, but the underlying concepts of minimalist design go back centuries. They can be traced back to Islam, as well as Japan.
At the start of the twentieth century, artists were beginning to turn away from Realism and started experimenting with what else art could achieve. What would blocks colour and negative space mean? Did art even need to be meaningful or expressive? It was no longer necessary for art to be definitive and recognisable. It could instead be something different altogether.
