| Summary |
Minimalism emerged in the early 1960s as a powerful corrective to the deeply personalized work of the Abstract Expressionists and a defiant alternative to both the Neo-Dadaists of the 1950s--Jasper Johns and Robert Rauschenberg--and the Pop artists -- Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Claes Oldenburg etc.--who burst upon the scene at the beginning of the 60s with their socio-infused aesthetic derived from the world of commerce and mundane culture. Often characterized as a cohesive style practiced by a group of similar minded artists, mostly in New York, Minimalism actually was never considered a movement by the artists who made what came to be known as minimalist art. Nor were those artists united in their vision of what constituted appropriate practices and products, resulting in heated exchanges and deep theoretical divides, even if the art that they made or ordered appeared to be united by the reigning mantra of the decade: less is more |
