Good morning darlings. I'm in such a good mood this morn with gloomy sky outside, wet road, songs of 'Plain White T's' and, of course, my cup of coffee. Wish I could attach a music file to the blog so that I can share with you how nice the song is :-)
Minimalism
Minimalism or Minimal art is an extreme form of abstract art that developed in the USA in the second half of the 1960s. It can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing. It picked up too on the Constructivist idea that art should be made of modern, industrial materials. Minimal artists typically made works in very simple geometric shapes based on the square and the rectangle. Many Minimal works explore the properties of their materials. Minimal art was mostly three-dimensional but the painter Frank Stella was an important Minimalist. The other principal artists were Andre, Flavin, Judd, Lewitt, Morris, and Serra. There are strong links between Minimal and Conceptual art. Aesthetically, Minimal art offers a highly purified form of beauty. It can also be seen as representing such qualities as truth (because it does not pretend to be anything other than what it is), order, simplicity, harmony.

ReplyDeleteI think team members stick with the word 'MINIMALISM', so we can't continue smoothly. Even you say you are thinking out of the box, there is a larger box covered. I want you guys forgot about this word. As we known, 'minimalism show itself', but we didn't. We just express it.
Haha, I confused with my thought tooooooooo~~~
Nice! I agree. We don't even have to care if we are in or out of the box. Just say what you want to say and do what you want to do.
