Conceptual art

In the 1960s and 1970s, there was a change in a culture far from the prevailing formalist aesthetics and the market-driven pursuit of a 'beautiful' image. Instead, it began with critical conceptions that originated in linguistic philosophy. These concepts problematized language, pictures, and the purpose of art objects in terms of their ability to influence the viewer’s understanding and perception. Some people consider conceptual art "anti-aesthetic" because it offers a different kind of pleasure, one that is more intellectual than visceral or visual. However, such boundaries have often become blurred in recent years.
