The document discusses several prominent minimalist artists from the 1950s-1970s including Donald Judd, Frank Stella, Dan Flavin, and Sol Lewitt. Minimalism strives to strip art down to its most fundamental geometric forms. Judd focused on boxes, stacks, and progression in his work. Stella was a monochrome painter who did not see color as expressive. Flavin used colored fluorescent lights in his pieces. Lewitt's work mostly consisted of wall drawings that were temporary, two-dimensional, and collaborative in nature.
