Artworks with the intent to convey a concept rather than focus on the subject shown.


-----

"Perception is subjective."

"Conceptual artists are mystics rather than rationalists. They leap to conclusions that logic cannot reach."

"Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus."

"In conceptual art the idea or concept is the most important aspect of the work . . . all planning and decisions are made beforehand and the execution is a perfunctory affair. The idea becomes the machine that makes the art."

Sol LeWitt.

Conceptual definitions:

"Art that is intended to convey an idea or concept to the perceiver and need not involve the creation or appreciation of a traditional art object such as a painting or sculpture."

"In Conceptual Art, the primary focus is placed upon the concept embodied in the piece. This is contrasted with the focus being on the materials used or the skill of the artist who produced it."

Facts and history of Conceptual Art
"Conceptual art was all about free thinking. The belief was that the power of art is behind the thinking not necessarily the finished article. This evolved into a way of thinking that emphasised the free thinking of art and to look everywhere and anywhere for ideas. In conceptual art, any idea is a good idea."
