Minimal art is known for its simplicity in both form and content, where individual expression is isolated in order to achieve effective minimal art. Minimal Art emerged as a movement in the 1950s and continued all throughout the 1960′s and 1970′s. And now we see it flourishing all over the art industries, especially the graphic design industry.

The purpose of Minimalism is basically to allow the viewers or the audience to experience the artwork more intensely without all the distractions of the composition, the theme, the organization and so on.

In this article, we will take a closer look at minimal graphic design that has been implemented on desktop wallpapers. And because we all like to customize our personal computers, below are 60 awesome minimalistic wallpapers just for you to download and perhaps even get a little inspiration to create your own!
