For our final
week’s discussion of music and art this month, I chose to talk about
Minimalism. There are, of course, other great examples of movements found in
both music and art and I will most likely return to this topic at a later point.
If you have any suggestions of what you may want to see in an upcoming music
and art post, feel free to let me know your thoughts.
Frank Stella is
one example of a Minimalist artist. His HyenaStomp is one example of Minimalism in the visual arts.
Stella’s painting
includes a simple spiral pattern using straight lines and bright colors. Minimalism
uses minimal materials, simplified forms and procedures, and repetitive ideas.
It does not represent any sort of emotion but displays a reaction to the
complexity found in other art movements.
Do you enjoy
Minimalist artwork? Do you have a favorite artist or painting from this period?
