What is the difference between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism?

1 Answer
What is the difference between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism?
The difference between Minimalism and Abstract Expressionism is mainly how the artist approaches the depiction of subjects produced in the two styles. Minimalist artists focus on representing subjects as simple geometric shapes and strive to eliminate emotions from their work. In contrast, Abstract Expressionists seek to convey the inner thoughts and feelings of themselves and their subjects through their art.
