Mark di Suvero, an artist who participated in this exhibition, famously remarked, “Donald Judd cannot qualify as an artist because he doesn’t do the work”, to which Judd replied, “The point is not whether one makes the work or not… I don’t see… why one technique is any more essentially art than another…” What this exhibition then gave way to was this new way of expressing ideas and space (sans any actual personal expression) that did not rely on the artist, but instead the final result.Packing list: You will get 1 murals, including 1 different themes and interesting quotes. It provoked the train of thought that the artist need not be a “maker” of art, as the artworks were not made with their own hands, but rather instigated an “artist as designer” tag. The artworks that made up this exhibition comprised of bare, almost naked materials with smooth and shiny surface. Held at the Jewish Museum in New York in 1966, this exhibit turned out to be a critical and media success.

‘Primary Structures’ at the Jewish MuseumĪ key point for the minimalist art movement was additionally the group exhibit entitled ‘Primary Structures’, that featured works by Dan Flavin, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, Donald Judd and Tony Smith. As such, they turned towards the polar end of this spectrum, creating works that attempted to be wholly objective, inexpressive, and non-referential. Overarching motivations for Minimalist artists and the necessity for its movement consisted of their disdain towards how abstract expressionist art reflected too much of its creator they felt these works were pretentious, unnecessarily personal, yet unsubstantial in subject and context. Minimalism rose to prominence in the early 1960s, rather soon after Abstract Expressionism dominated the 50s. Through the removal of decorative, figurative, and representational elements, minimalist art focused on the textural and material elements in a pure abstract form. Minimalism was ground-breaking because it removed all forms of self-expression and individuality – something that was unlike any previous art movement. In contrast to the loose and gestural works of Jackson Pollock, Willem de Kooning, and Franz Kline, younger artists in turn started to favour sleek, simple, and reductionist techniques in their works as opposed to the active and spontaneity that constituted abstract expressionist painting.

Geometric lines meet a tangent of utmost simplicity, and forms deliberately lack expressive content.īy the late 1950s, there was a stark change in attitudes towards painting and sculpture that saw a marked deviation from the emotive and physical sensibilities that characterised much of the Abstract Expressionist movement in the 1940s and 50s. The movement constitutes of a school of abstraction devoid of personal expression – or at least where personal expression is kept to a minimum. Artist’s did not pretend to represent anything other than what it was. With minimalist artists focusing primarily on the surface of the canvas and the aesthetic quality of materials, their works have been closely linked with notions pertaining to truth and honesty. It is a genre that has been widely associated with conceptual art, which during the 1960s, was extremely radical in that it challenged pre-existing structures of making, viewing, and understanding art. Considered an extension of abstract art, minimalism removes all essential forms in order to expose the purity and beauty of the art object. The art movement was truly ground-breaking for its time, as it saw artists focusing on highlighting the very true essence of the medium and material to form the art itself. During this period, the art world saw a major transition particularly amongst younger artists whose works began to actively reject and move away from abstract expressionism. Minimalism is a popular art movement that developed in the late 1950s and early 60s.
