What is minimal art?











What is minimal art and boom can have?
Carlos, Los Angeles

Minimal art is the artistic movement that eliminates the pictorial representation and illusion in favor of a unified simple geometric expression. This movement of painting and sculpture had its birth from 1960 to 1970 mainly in the U.S.. The forerunners of this movement are Americans and Japanese. The main artists of this movement are Carl Andre, Dan Falvin, Donald Judd, Brice Marden, Richard Serra, Sol Lewitt, Katsuo Yoshida and Kishi Suga. Although they all work differently. For example Carl Andre (picture below left.) Works with wood, granite, but mostly with aluminum and metals. Dan Flavin (pictured below right) works with fluorescent color, Donald Judd (pictured above left.) works with plexiglass, Brice Marden (picture above right) painted stripes and sometimes only monochrome paintings, huge Richard Serra sculptures made of steel, while Suga Kishi working with wood painted with acrylic. Although these artists work with different materials and different ways, all have an emphasis on simplification of forms and mostly monochromatic works.

Minimalism can be interpreted as a reaction to abstract expressionism movement showed a fierce psychological expression. Minimalism was the opposite, the artist showed no emotions only essentials of geometric abstraction.

Minimalism is also expressed in architecture, design, literature and music.

Carlos to answer the second part of your question, minimalist art was not very apogee in Latin America. The reason might be because the artists may think that not going to take very seriously. Most people think in Latin America, this is not art, anyone can do it. It is indeed true then they can do, the thing to say before it has been done and get famous so. And no new artists of this movement and some have died such as Dan Flavin and Donald Judd, so the movement is declining, but peaked in the 1970s. In North America, Europe and Japan this movement if you had a great climax and these artists are well known and well respected in the art infrastructure.

Carlos I hope my answer was to your liking. Augusto
