It is shown that the style of the caricatures gravitates towards minimalism. The basics of true minimalism are also considered in comparison with fakes. It is shown that true minimalism is characterised by such style-forming features as brevity while being filled with meanings and allusions, elegance, sincerity and objectivity. References Babel, I.
