The Minimalists are idealist. They want to minimize themselves in favor of the ideal... But I just can't. You see, my paintings are not cool.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Warmth isn't what minimalists are thought to have.
Also minimalism is a term that all of us who share so little in common and who are lumped together as minimalists are not terribly happy with.
Simplicity is not an objective in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one's self by entering into the real sense of things.
In many museums, you see one of this and one of that. You gain an understanding of what Abstract Expressionism or Minimalism is, but you aren't given the chance to appreciate the mind of an artist.
I have my own definition of minimalism, which is that which is created with a minimum of means.
I'm an idealist.
Minimalism now is a reaction to what came before. It's absolutely of its time. Music moved into the set theory thing, and moved out of it.
True idealists are rare; they are the dedicated workers, who would, if need be, die at the stake.
Minimalism wasn't a real idea - it ended before it started.
As for minimalism, I don't care, don't care, don't care to repeat myself, repeat myself.
