The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life. (William Faulkner)

Conceptual Art - 1960s.
Conceptualart, sometimes simply called Conceptualism, is art in which the concept(s) or
idea(s) involved in the work take precedence over traditional aesthetic and
material concerns. Many of works of conceptual art, sometimes
calledinstallations, may be constructed by anyone simply by following a set of
written instructions.This method was fundamental to LeWitt's definition of
Conceptual art, one of the first to appear in print:
"In
conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work.
When an artist uses a conceptual form of art, it means that all of the planning
and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair.
The idea becomes a machine that makes the art."
Through its
association with the Young British Artists and the Turner Prize during the
1990s, in popular usage, particularly in the UK , "conceptual art" came
to denote all contemporary art that does not practice the traditional skills of
painting andsculpture. It could be said that one of the reasons why the term
"conceptual art" has come to be associated with various contemporary
practices far removed from its original aims and forms lies in the problem of
defining the term itself. As the artist Mel Bochner suggested as early as 1970, in explaining why he
does not like the epithet "conceptual", it is not always entirely
clear what "concept" refers to, and it runs the risk of being
confused with "intention." Thus, in describing or defining a work of
art as conceptual it is important not to confuse what is referred to as
"conceptual" with an artist's "intention."
Fountain is
a 1917 work widely attributed to Marcel Duchamp. The scandalous work was a
porcelain urinal, which was signed "R.Mutt" and titled Fountain.
Submitted for the exhibition of the Society of Independent Artists in 1917,
Fountain was rejected by the committee, even though the rules stated that all
works would be accepted from artists who paid the fee. Fountain was displayed
and photographed at Alfred Stieglitz’s studio, and the photo published in The
Blind Man, but the original has been lost. The work is regarded by some art
historians and theorists of the avant-garde, such as Peter Bürger, as a major
landmark in 20th century art. Replicas commissioned by Duchamp in the 1960s are
now on display in a number of different museums.
Noteable
Conceptual Artists: Yoko Ono,Chris Burden, David Ireland, Roman Opałka, MarkLombardi, Mireille Astore, Greer Honeywill, Felix Gonzalez-Torres,
Dmitri Prigov.

Abstract Expressionism - 1960s.
Abstract expressionism is an art movement that flourished after World War II until the early 1960s, characterized by the view that art is nonrepresentational and chiefly improvisational. Although the term "abstract expressionism" was first applied to American art in 1946 by the art critic Robert Coates, it had been first used in Germany in 1919 in the magazine "Der Sturm", regarding German Expressionism. In the United States, Alfred Barr was the first to use this term in 1929 in relation to works by Wassily Kandinsky.
Here are some of early Kandinsky's works which marked the beginning of the given art movement:
Basic to most abstract expressionist painting were the attention paid to surface qualities, i.e., qualities of brushstroke and texture; the use of huge canvases; the adoption of an approach to space in which all parts of the canvas played an equally vital role in the total work; the harnessing of accidents that occurred during the process of painting; the glorification of the act of painting itself as a means of visual communication; and the attempt to transfer pure emotion directly onto the canvas.
Here are some significant artists whose works defined Abstract Expressionism:

Minimalism - 1960-1970s.
Minimalism describes
movements in various forms of art and design, especially visual
art and music, where the work is set out to expose the
essence or identity of a subject through eliminating all
non-essential forms, features or concepts. Minimalism is any design
or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create
the maximum effect.
As
a specific movement in the arts it is identified with developments in
post–World War II Western Art, most strongly with American visual
arts in the 1960s and early 1970s. It is rooted in the reductive
aspects of Modernism, and is often interpreted as a reaction
against Abstract expressionism and a bridge
to Postminimal art practices. The word was first used
in English in the early 20th century to describe the Mensheviks.
Kazimir Malevich, Black Square, 1915, Oil on Canvas
Key
characteristics: Minimalist
art was normally precise and hard-edged. It incorporated geometric
forms often in repetitive patterns and solid planes of color,
normally cool hues or unmixed colors straight from the
tube. Minimalists wanted their viewer to experience their work
without the distractions of composition, theme, and other elements of
traditional work. The Minimalists' emphasis on eradicating signs
of authorship from the artwork (by using simple, geometric forms, and
courting the appearance of industrial objects) led, inevitably, to
the sense that the meaning of the object lay not "inside"
it, but rather on its surface - it arose from the viewer's
interaction with the object. This led to a new emphasis on the
physical space in which the artwork resided.
Artists: Kazimir
Malevich; Pieter
Mondriaan; Pablo
Picasso; Barnett
Newman; Josef
