Question

what is the main goal of minimalist art?
a to depict recognizable objects, people, or places in the natural world
b to emphasize the physical and material qualities of the artwork

Explanation:

Minimalist art aims to reduce elements and emphasize the physical, material aspects of the artwork (like form, color, texture of the medium). Option A describes realism or representational art. Option C is opposite (Minimalist art avoids extraneous details). Option D is about art with stories/representations, not Minimalist. So B is correct.
