INTRODUCTION
Concept art or Conceptualism originated during the1960’s and 1970’s.
The work of the Dadaists is fundamentallyconceptualist and was not influenced by anymovement before it.
Artist Marcel Duchamp argued that the idea of a “work” mattered morethan its physical representation.
Both philosophy and the diverse kinds and styles of art and art-makingthat fall under the conceptual tradition all have one thing in common:
they are both intended to make you think.
The above statement underpins all Conceptualist Art in existence.

It is based upon the relation between the aesthetics and the philosophy.Conceptual artists utilizes the available elements of expression todepict not only the nature of objects, but often political, social andtechnological subjects as well.
The concept of a work of art may involve the matter of the piece or theprocess in which it is made.
Simply put, it is “art as an idea” intended to convey an idea or conceptto the viewer.
