Just a decade earlier the abstract expressionists took hold of the art world, further progressing the way that artwork was conceptualized. The goal of abstract expressionism is simply to let the artist express their emotions through their artwork. In the Escalette Collection, Hassel Smith is an example of an abstract expressionist artist.

Using geometric shapes and store-bought items was revolutionary; now, instead of only finding meaning in the artwork, the viewer was able to fully evaluate the object as art\u00a0by looking at the work in terms of color, texture, light and much more. Being that one of the goals of minimalist artists was to break down the boundaries of art, they focused their attention on the distinction between painting and sculpture, wanting to nullify these distinctions and turn them into equal art forms.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1814\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1814\" style=\"width: 429px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1814\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1814\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1.jpg\" alt=\"Erase\/Peace by Bill Radawec\" width=\"429\" height=\"648\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1.jpg 1368w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1-199x300.jpg 199w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1-678x1024.jpg 678w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1-768x1160.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1-1017x1536.jpg 1017w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/collections\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/73\/2015\/12\/2009.9.1-1356x2048.jpg 1356w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 429px) 100vw, 429px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1814\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bill Radawec &#8220;Erase\/Peace,&#8221; Latex on Canvas, 1999 Gift of the artist<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The styles of these artists can differ tremendously; while some have a strong aesthetic beauty, others are so barren that they become harsh and uninviting. The simplicity of minimalist artwork defies the previously established principles of art, including that art is meant to have meaning and beauty. The minimalists did not make art for a purpose; instead they made art only for it to exist and push the boundaries previously set up in this world, leading to the creation of a new era for what is acceptable and classified as art.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1815\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1815\" style=\"width: 487px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a
