  • Essay / Minimalism and its spheres of influence - 1086

    Art and minimalism and everything related to it:Art is like the mirror of a society, in many ways. It has always been linked to and representative of the aspirations of a particular era. It goes without saying that society influences art. The fact that art seeks to influence social and cultural phenomena testifies to its affective power. Minimalism was a logical development of trends that began at the beginning of the 20th century - most notably in architecture with the Bauhaus and Mies Van Der Rohe's philosophy "Less is More". There was a new way of looking at things, putting questioned ancient ideas of form and style. This philosophy was absorbed by the artistic movement, which broke free from its classical bonds and where minimalism became influential in several genres. look for a lasting minimalist influence on contemporary design - an obvious but interesting connection and in contemporary music - a not so apparent influence Minimalist art in the late 20th century - Common concepts: In the late 1960s it was. established that minimalism was not about representation but interpretation. There was a density of subject matter that was not immediately revealed to the viewer. It was simple, clean and geometric and sought to express its underlying structure. . And now it was also about the relational aspects of the work. This was illustrated in the works of Donald Judd. (his work with cubes and boxes) Repetition and progression were key. Richard Serra'a's works, in contrast, rely on the power of (extreme) materiality to elicit a response. (Union of Torus and Sphere, Consequence) On the other hand, Sol Lewitt attempted to purge the hand of the artist and present art in an emotionless and impartial form middle of paper.... .. his work is soft, fluid, organic and human rather than geometric. Ecominimalism is an increasingly popular term for a realistic and cost-effective approach to going green in buildings. It is somewhat ironic that many of its main propagators have refused to be associated with the term minimalist. (Reich and Ando in particular) It is possible that the term was used in a pejorative manner in its first versions. The general public found it cold, sterile and abstract. Today, although it remains essentially simple, it is no longer restricted and ascetic. Minimalism has become a broad and increasingly nuanced philosophy. The idea of ​​simplicity is interpreted in a diverse way, using a wide variety of media. Therefore, I believe that with research, new possibilities for development will open up. Minimalism is definitely here to stay for a little while longer.
