Content: Still, “Black Square” is a suprematism work, because, in addition to the external form, it is necessary to take into account the conceptual and philosophical component of creativity. As an independent style, minimalism was formed much later, in the 1960s, in New York. Interestingly, the new direction was not just a development of minimalist ideas that had been voiced earlier. Minimal art emerged as a protest against abstract expressionism in the 1940s and 1950s. Minimalists decided to cleanse abstractionism of expression, emotionality, subjectivism, and complexity of forms. They considered their art to be objective. The author of the term “minimalism” was a British philosopher and art historian Richard Walheim. He singled out this direction, analyzing the creativity of the artists who go in their works by the least interference with the world around them. The origins of minimalism lie in such currents as pop art and suprematism. The direction of K. Malevich’s work and the trends of the Bauhaus school have also influenced the development.
