500 Decoration Ideas
Taschen
Taschen
$14.99

This book offers decoration ideas based on the most contemporary form of minimalism, as well as inspiring maxims of the leading exponents of this movement. The term 'minimalist' was coined in the 1960s to give a name to the predominant movement in the visual arts. It reached its maturity a decade later, imposing itself as a reaction against pop art, which was saturating the media. Since then the influence of this movement has transcended the field of design and architecture and entered the realm of painting, fashion, and music. In interior design, it can be defined by simple forms, pure lines, unobstructed spaces and neutral colors - as presented in this book. In English, German, French. Illus.
