minimalism

GBK English to Romanian Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Definition from Bluemoon Art Glossary:
A movement and style of art from the 20th century which attempts to reduce art to the basic geometric shapes with the fewest colors, lines, and textures. Minimal art does not seek to be representational of any object.
Example sentences:
Though never a self-proclaimed movement, Minimalism refers to painting or sculpture made with an extreme economy of means and reduced to the essentials of geometric abstraction. (Guggenheim Museum)
The reduction of form, the controlled gesture and emotional outburst, the rationalistic behaviour and a sensibilized minimalism – these were the main features of an entirely different standpoint from the one dominating the painting of the preceding decade. (Sava Stepanov ON MINIMALISM)
While many people tend to associate minimalism with painting, the principle is also applied in the creation of musical compositions, theatrical performances, and even interior design. (WiseGeek)

minimalism

Definition from Wikipedia:
Minimalismul se referă la acele mişcări sau stiluri în diverse forme de artă şi design, în special arte vizuale şi muzică, unde lucrarea de artă este redusă la părţile fundamentale. În alte domenii ale artelor, minimalismul caracterizează nuvelele lui Ernest Hemingway, piesele de teatru ale lui Samuel Beckett, filmele lui Jean-Pierre Melville şi Robert Bresson, poveştile lui Raymond Carver şi chiar planurile de automobile ale lui Colin Chapman.
Example sentences:
O pictură minimalistă, de exemplu, va folosi în general un număr limitat de culori şi va folosi forme geometrice simple. Deşi mulţi cred că minimalismul implică doar reprezentări abstracte-geometrice, acestă mişcare se extinde în afara acestor limitări. (Wikipedia)
Minimalismul respinge necesitatea dimensiunii sociale, exprimarea, naratiunea sau orice alta aluzie, oricat de subtila, la istorie, politica sau religie, scopul sau esential fiind de a crea obiecte interesante si frumoase, nimic mai mult. Artistii care au adoptat aceasta maniera de lucru folosesc in compozitii cat mai putine culori, forme, linii. (Artline)
Minimalismul poate sa presupuna doar prim-plan si sa reduca sau chiar sa anuleze fundalul – de pilda, un conflict intre personaje puternic individualizate, dar scoase din contextul social ori din cel temporal – sau, dimpotriva, sa favorizeze un fundal prin stilizarea a tot ceea ce el urmeaza sa primeasca – cum ar fi accentuarea functiei umbrei intr-o fotografie alb-negru. (Idei in Dialog)
Note from asker:
It sounds like they mean "tipo de cambio ... de pizarra" i.e. the publicly quoted exchange rate. For example, this article from Uruguay's central bank: "En nuestro país, la fijación del Tipo de Cambio es libre. Cabe señalar que se exige a las instituciones la publicación de la cotización en una pizarra con caracteres visibles, para que el cliente la conozca previo a concretar la operación." http://www.bcu.gub.uy/Usuario-Financiero/Paginas/Cambio_Moneda.aspx
