Etymology

The word 'conceptual' originated from the Latin word 'conceptualis', which means 'pertaining to a concept'. The term has been used in various fields such as philosophy, art, and design to describe ideas or theories that are abstract or theoretical in nature. In art, conceptualism emerged as a significant movement in the 1960s, challenging traditional notions of art and emphasizing the importance of the idea behind the artwork.
