Prominent artists associated with minimalism includeDonald Judd,Agnes Martin,Dan Flavin,Carl Andre,Robert Morris,Anne TruittandFrank Stella.[1][2]The movement is often interpreted as a reaction againstabstract expressionismandmodernism;it anticipated contemporarypost-minimalart practices, which extend or reflect on minimalism's original objectives.[3]

Minimalism in musicoften features repetition and gradual variation, such as the works ofLa Monte Young,Terry Riley,Steve Reich,Philip Glass,Julius EastmanandJohn Adams.

The term has also been used to describe theplaysandnovelsofSamuel Beckett,the films ofRobert Bresson,the stories ofRaymond Carver,and the automobile designs ofColin Chapman.

In recent years, Minimalism has come to refer to anything or anyone that is spare or stripped to its essentials.[4]

Visual arts

Minimalism in visual art, sometimes called "minimal art", "literalist art"[5]and "ABC Art",[6]refers to a specific movement of artists that emerged in New York in the early 1960s in response toabstract expressionism.[7]Examples of artists working inpaintingthat are associated with Minimalism includeNassos Daphnis,Frank Stella,Kenneth Noland,Al Held,Ellsworth Kelly,Robert Rymanand others; those working insculptureincludeDonald Judd,Dan Flavin,David Smith,Anthony Caroand more. Minimalism in painting can be characterized by the use of thehard edge,linear lines, simple forms, and an emphasis on two dimensions.[7]Minimalism in sculpture can be characterized by very simple geometric shapes often made of industrial materials like plastic, metal, aluminum, concrete, and fiberglass;[7]these materials are usually left raw or painted a solid colour.

Minimalism was in part a reaction against the painterly subjectivity ofAbstract Expressionismthat had been dominant in theNew York Schoolduring the 1940s and 1950s.[8]Dissatisfied with the intuitive and spontaneous qualities ofAction Painting,and Abstract Expressionism more broadly, Minimalism as an art movement asserted that a work of art should not refer to anything other than itself and should omit any extra-visual association.[9]

Donald Judd's work was showcased in 1964 atGreen Galleryin Manhattan, as were Flavin's first fluorescent light works, while other leading Manhattan galleries likeLeo Castelli GalleryandPace Galleryalso began to showcase artists focused on minimalist ideas.

Minimalism in visual art broadly

edit

In a more general sense, minimalism as a visual strategy can be found in thegeometric abstractionsof painters associated with theBauhausmovement, in the works ofKazimir Malevich,Piet Mondrianand other artists associated with theDe Stijlmovement, theRussian Constructivistmovement, and in the work of the Romanian sculptorConstantin Brâncuși.[10][11]

Minimalism as aformalstrategy has been deployed in the paintings ofBarnett Newman,Ad Reinhardt,Josef Albers,and the works of artists as diverse asPablo Picasso,Yayoi Kusama,Giorgio Morandi,and others.Yves Kleinhad paintedmonochromesas early as 1949, and held the first private exhibition of this work in 1950—but his first public showing was the publication of theArtist's bookYves: Peinturesin November 1954.[12][13]

Literalism

edit
Donald Judd'sUntitled

Michael Friedcalled the minimalist artistsliteralists,and usedliteralismas apejorativedue to his position that the art should delivertranscendentalexperience[14]withmetaphors,symbolism,andstylization.Per Fried's (controversial) view, the literalist art needs a spectator to validate it as art: an "object in a situation" only becomes art in the eyes of an observer. For example, for a regular sculpture its physical location is irrelevant, and its status as a work of art remains even when unseen. TheDonald Judd's pieces (see the photo on the right), on the other hand, are just objects sitting in the desert sun waiting for a visitor to discover them and accept them as art.[15]

Design, architecture, and spaces

edit

The reconstruction ofLudwig Mies van der Rohe'sGerman PavilioninBarcelona

The term minimalism is also used to describe a trend indesignandarchitecture,wherein the subject is reduced to its necessary elements.[16]Minimalist architectural designers focus on the connection between two perfect planes, elegant lighting, and the void spaces left by the removal of three-dimensional shapes in an architectural design.[according to whom?][citation needed]Minimalist architecture became popular in the late 1980s in London and New York,[17]whereby architects and fashion designers worked together in the boutiques to achieve simplicity, using white elements, cold lighting, and large spaces with minimal furniture and few decorative elements.

Minimalistic design has been highly influenced byJapanese traditional design and architecture.[18]The works ofDe Stijlartists are a major reference: De Stijl expanded the ideas of expression by meticulously organizing basic elements such as lines and planes.[19]With regard to home design, more attractive "minimalistic" designs are not truly minimalistic because they are larger, and use more expensive building materials and finishes.[citation needed]

There are observers[who?]who describe the emergence of minimalism as a response to the brashness and chaos of urban life. In Japan, for example, minimalist architecture began to gain traction in the 1980s when its cities experienced rapid expansion and booming population. The design was considered an antidote to the "overpowering presence of traffic, advertising, jumbled building scales, and imposing roadways."[20]The chaotic environment was not only driven by urbanization, industrialization, and technology but also the Japanese experience of constantly having to demolish structures on account of the destruction wrought by World War II and the earthquakes, including the calamities it entails such as fire. The minimalist design philosophy did not arrive in Japan by way of another country, as it was already part of the Japanese culture rooted on the Zen philosophy. There are those who specifically attribute the design movement to Japan's spirituality and view of nature.[21]

ArchitectLudwig Mies van der Rohe(1886–1969) adopted the motto "Less is more" to describe his aesthetic.[a]His tactic was one of arranging the necessary components of a building to create an impression of extreme simplicity—he enlisted every element and detail to serve multiple visual and functional purposes; for example, designing a floor to also serve as the radiator, or a massive fireplace to also house the bathroom. DesignerBuckminster Fuller(1895–1983) adopted the engineer's goal of "Doing more with less", but his concerns were oriented toward technology and engineering rather than aesthetics.[22]

Concepts and design elements

edit

The concept of minimalist architecture is to strip everything down to its essential quality and achieve simplicity.[23]The idea is not completely without ornamentation,[24]but that all parts, details, and joinery are considered as reduced to a stage where no one can remove anything further to improve the design.[25]

The considerations for 'essences' are light, form, detail of material, space, place, and human condition.[26]Minimalist architects not only consider the physical qualities of the building. They consider the spiritual dimension and the invisible, by listening to the figure and paying attention to details, people, space, nature, and materials,[27]believing this reveals the abstract quality of something that is invisible and aids the search for the essence of those invisible qualities—such as natural light, sky, earth, and air. In addition, they "open a dialogue" with the surrounding environment to decide the most essential materials for the construction and create relationships between buildings and sites.[24]

In minimalist architecture, design elements strive to convey the message of simplicity. The basic geometric forms, elements without decoration, simple materials and the repetitions of structures represent a sense of order and essential quality.[28]The movement of natural light in buildings reveals simple and clean spaces.[26]In the late 19th century as the arts and crafts movement became popular in Britain, people valued the attitude of 'truth to materials' with respect to the profound and innate characteristics of materials.[29]Minimalist architects humbly 'listen to figure,' seeking essence and simplicity by rediscovering the valuable qualities in simple and common materials.[27]

Influences from Japanese tradition

The idea of simplicity appears in many cultures, especially the Japanese traditional culture ofZen Buddhistphilosophy. Japanese manipulate the Zen culture into aesthetic and design elements for their buildings.[31]This idea of architecture has influenced Western society, especially in America since the mid 18th century.[32]Moreover, it inspired the minimalist architecture in the 19th century.[25]

Zen concepts of simplicity transmit the ideas of freedom and essence of living.[25]Simplicity is not only aesthetic value, it has a moral perception that looks into the nature of truth and reveals the inner qualities and essence of materials and objects.[33]For example, thesand gardeninRyōan-jitemple demonstrates the concepts of simplicity and the essentiality from the considered setting of a few stones and a huge empty space.[34]

The Japanese aesthetic principle ofMarefers to empty or open space. It removes all the unnecessary internal walls and opens up the space. The emptiness of spatial arrangement reduces everything down to the most essential quality.[35]

The Japanese aesthetic ofwabi-sabivalues the quality of simple and plain objects.[36]It appreciates the absence of unnecessary features, treasures a life in quietness and aims to reveal the innate character of materials.[37]For example, the Japanese floral art ofikebanahas the central principle of letting the flower express itself. People cut off the branches, leaves and blossoms from the plants and only retain the essential part of the plant. This conveys the idea of essential quality and innate character in nature.[38]

Minimalist architects and their works

edit

The Japanese minimalist architectTadao Andoconveys the Japanese traditional spirit and his own perception of nature in his works. His design concepts are materials, pure geometry and nature. He normally uses concrete or natural wood and basic structural form to achieve austerity and rays of light in space. He also sets up dialogue between the site and nature to create relationship and order with the buildings.[39]Ando's works and the translation of Japanese aesthetic principles are highly influential on Japanese architecture.[21]

Another Japanese minimalist architect,Kazuyo Sejima,works on her own and in conjunction withRyue Nishizawa,asSANAA,producing iconic Japanese Minimalist buildings. Credited with creating and influencing a particular genre of Japanese Minimalism,[40]Sejimas delicate, intelligent designs may use white color, thin construction sections and transparent elements to create the phenomenal building type often associated with minimalism. Works includeNew Museum(2010) New York City, Small House (2000) Tokyo, House surrounded By Plum Trees (2003) Tokyo.

In Vitra Conference Pavilion, Weil am Rhein, 1993, the concepts are to bring together the relationships between building, human movement, site andnature.Which as one main point of minimalism ideology that establish dialogue between the building and site. The building uses the simple forms of circle and rectangle to contrast the filled and void space of the interior and nature. In the foyer, there is a large landscape window that looks out to the exterior. This achieves the simple and silence of architecture and enhances the light, wind, time and nature in space.[41]

John Pawsonis a British minimalist architect; his design concepts are soul, light, and order. He believes that though reduced clutter and simplification of the interior to a point that gets beyond the idea of essential quality, there is a sense of clarity and richness of simplicity instead of emptiness. The materials in his design reveal the perception toward space, surface, and volume. Moreover, he likes to use natural materials because of their aliveness, sense of depth and quality of an individual. He is also attracted by the important influences from Japanese Zen Philosophy.[42]

Calvin Klein Madison Avenue,New York,1995–96, is a boutique that conveys Calvin Klein's ideas of fashion. John Pawson's interior design concepts for this project are to create simple, peaceful and orderly spatial arrangements. He used stone floors and white walls to achieve simplicity and harmony for space. He also emphasises reduction and eliminates the visual distortions, such as the air conditioning and lamps, to achieve a sense of purity for the interior.[43]

Alberto Campo Baezais a Spanish architect and describes his work as essential architecture. He values the concepts of light, idea and space. Light is essential and achieves the relationship between inhabitants and the building. Ideas are to meet the function and context of space, forms, and construction. Space is shaped by the minimal geometric forms to avoid decoration that is not essential.[44]

Literature

edit

Literary minimalism is characterized by an economy with words and a focus on surface description. Minimalist writers eschew adverbs and prefer allowing context to dictate meaning. Readers are expected to take an active role in creating the story, to "choose sides" based on oblique hints and innuendo, rather than react to directions from the writer.[45][46]

Austrian architect and theorist Adolf Loos published early writings about minimalism inOrnament and Crime.[47]

The precursors to literary minimalism are famous novelistsStephen CraneandErnest Hemingway.[48][49][50][51][52]

Some 1940s-era crime fiction of writers such asJames M. CainandJim Thompsonadopted a stripped-down, matter-of-fact prose style to considerable effect; some[who?]classify this prose style as minimalism.

Another strand of literary minimalism arose in response to themetafictiontrend of the 1960s and early 1970s (John Barth,Robert Coover,andWilliam H. Gass). These writers were also sparse with prose and kept a psychological distance from their subject matter.[citation needed]

Minimalist writers, or those who are identified with minimalism during certain periods of their writing careers, include the following:Raymond Carver,[53]Ann Beattie,[54]Bret Easton Ellis,[55][56]Charles Bukowski,[57][58]K. J. Stevens,[59]Amy Hempel,[60][61][62]Bobbie Ann Mason,[63][64][65]Tobias Wolff,[66][67][68]Grace Paley,[69][70]Sandra Cisneros,[71]Mary Robison,[72]Frederick Barthelme,[73]Richard Ford,Patrick Holland,[74]Cormac McCarthy,[75][76]David LeavittandAlicia Erian.[citation needed]

American poets such asWilliam Carlos Williams,earlyEzra Pound,Robert Creeley,Robert Grenier,andAram Saroyan[77]are sometimes identified with theirminimaliststyle.[46]The term "minimalism" is also sometimes associated with the briefest of poetic genres,haiku,which originated in Japan, but has been domesticated in English literature by poets such asNick Virgilio,Raymond Roseliep,andGeorge Swede.[citation needed]

The Irish writerSamuel Beckettis well known for his minimalist plays and prose, as is the Norwegian writerJon Fosse.[78]

Dimitris Lyacos'sWith the People from the Bridge,combining elliptical monologues with a pared-down prose narrative, is a contemporary example of minimalist playwrighting.[79][80]

In his novelThe Easy Chain,Evan Daraincludes a 60-page section written in the style of musical minimalism, in particular inspired by composerSteve Reich.Intending to represent the psychological state (agitation) of the novel's main character, the section's successive lines of text are built on repetitive and developing phrases.[citation needed]

Music

edit
Main article:Minimal music

The term "minimal music" was derived around 1970 byMichael Nymanfrom the concept of minimalism, which was earlier applied to thevisual arts.[81][82]More precisely, it was in a 1968 review inThe Spectatorthat Nyman first used[83]the term, to describe a ten-minute piano composition by the Danish composerHenning Christiansen,along with several other unnamed pieces played byCharlotte MoormanandNam June Paikat theInstitute of Contemporary Artsin London.[84]

However, the roots of minimal music are older. In France,Yves Kleinallegedly conceived hisMonotone Symphony(formallyThe Monotone-Silence Symphony) between 1947 or 1949[85](but premiered only in 1960), a work that consisted of a single 20-minute sustained chord followed by a 20-minute silence.[86][87]

Film and cinema

edit

In film, minimalism usually is associated with filmmakers such asRobert Bresson,Chantal Akerman,Carl Theodor Dreyer,andYasujirō Ozu.Their films typically tell a simple story with straightforward camera usage and minimal use of score.Paul Schradernamed their kind of cinema: "transcendental cinema".[88]In the present, a commitment to minimalist filmmaking can be seen in film movements such asDogme 95,mumblecore,and theRomanian New Wave.Abbas Kiarostami,[89]Elia Suleiman,[90]andKelly Reichardtare also considered minimalist filmmakers.

The Minimalists– Joshua Fields Millburn, Ryan Nicodemus, and Matt D'Avella – directed and produced the filmMinimalism: A Documentary,[91]which showcased the idea of minimal living in the modern world.

In other fields

edit

Cooking

edit

Breaking from the complex, hearty dishes established as orthodoxhaute cuisine,nouvelle cuisinewas a culinary movement that consciously drew from minimalism andconceptualism.It emphasized more basic flavors, carefulpresentation,and a less involved preparation process. The movement was mainly in vogue during the 1960s and 1970s, after which it once again gave way to more traditionalhaute cuisine,retroactively titledcuisine classique.However, the influence ofnouvelle cuisinecan still be felt through the techniques it introduced.[92]

Fashion

edit
A minimalist woman's wardrobe

Thecapsule wardrobeis an example of minimalism infashion.Constructed of only a few staple pieces that do not go out of style, and generally dominated by only one or two colors, capsule wardrobes are meant to be light, flexible and adaptable, and can be paired with seasonal pieces when the situation calls for them.[93]The modern idea of a capsule wardrobe dates back to the 1970s, and is credited to London boutique owner Susie Faux. The concept was further popularized in the next decade by American fashion designerDonna Karan,who designed a seminal collection of capsule workwear pieces in 1985.[94]


Science communication

To portrayglobal warmingto non-scientists, in 2018 British climate scientistEd Hawkinsdevelopedwarming stripesgraphics that are deliberately devoid of scientific or technical indicia, for ease of understanding by non-scientists.[96]Hawkins explained that "our visual system will do the interpretation of the stripes without us even thinking about it".[97]

Warming stripe graphics resemblecolor fieldpaintings in stripping out all distractions, such as actual data, and using only color to convey meaning.[98]Color field pioneer artistBarnett Newmansaid he was "creating images whose reality is self-evident", an ethos that Hawkins is said to have applied to the problem of climate change and leading one commentator to remark that the graphics are "fit for theMuseum of Modern Artor theGetty."[98]

Atempestry—aportmanteauof "temperature" and "tapestry" —is a tapestry using stripes of specific colors of yarn to represent respective temperature ranges.[99]The tapestries visually represent global warming occurring at given locations.[99]

Minimalist lifestyle

edit

In a lifestyle adopting minimalism, there is an effort to use materials which are most essential and in quantities that do not exceed certain limits imposed by the user themselves. There have been many terms evolved from the concept, like minimalist decors, minimalist skincare, minimalist style, minimalist accessories, etc. All such terms signify the usage of only essential products in that niche into one's life. This can help one to focus on things that are important in one's life. It can reduce waste. It can also save the time of acquiring the excess materials that may be found unnecessary.[100][101]

A minimalist lifestyle helps to enjoy life with simple things that are available without undue efforts to acquire things that may be bought at great expenses.[102]Minimalism can also lead to less clutter in living spaces.[103]
