Phraseology

With the rise of the Conceptual Art movement in the 1960s, many artists began to create art that valued an idea or concept over the finished work. These artists wanted to redefine what art could be beyond visual aesthetics.
In Phraseology, artists merge form and idea by creating works that contain text, familiar phrases and poetry. In doing so, artists provide conflicting methods of observing the art, presenting new or different perspectives.
