"Minimalism is a style of art in which objects are stripped down to their elemental, geometric form, and presented in an impersonal manner. It is an Abstract form of art which developed as a reaction against the subjective elements of Abstract Expressionism. Minimalist art frequently takes the form of installations or sculpture, for example with Donald Judd, Dan Flavin, Carl Andre, and Sol LeWitt. However, there are also a number of minimalist painters, including Ellsworth Kelly, and Frank Stella." |

As a presentation art, I do not find minimalism particularly interesting, but in practical application it seems much more powerful. Minimalist architecture and design seem to say a lot more than minimalist painting and wall art. (Art Clause: But maybe I don't fully understand it.) |

i like it... yet i certainly wouldn't pay the astronomic sums of money people can pay for a minimal piece of art even if i had the money (maybe that decredibilizes the art a bit in a way don't you think... and i'm sure if anyone not well-known would have painted the minimal paintings well-known painters did, (s)he would have just been laughed at. hey, it probably happened, i wouldn't be surprised. that totally decredibilizes the thing, just because you're well-known doesn't mean you make better art). by the way, good minimal music can be as much, and even quite often more, affecting than "normal" music. |

i think it's a powerful way to express oneself. we are overloaded with stimuli most of the time. minimal art can be a shocking experience...it's like turning everything off for a second. |

what's that quote from, rarndaraki? i don't agree, of course. some of the best innovations and ideas in human history have been the simplest (and of course, the inverse is true as well). i think it's rather strange to marginalize something because it's simplistic, but clearly many, if not most, people have the tendency to do so. |

it's a quote from anti-pop consortium. i think they are mostly speaking of the post-modern definition of minimal art (hahahaha!). |
