LIFE’S VIEW
I
have been systematically puzzled by the Minimalism
movement. Most certainly, intrigued and puzzled by the minimalist
artists themselves, for I do believe that, they form their own particular
circle…They belong to themselves in their perfect sense of simplistic
harmony and absolute intellectual nihilism of forms absence and conceptual
visualization. They are frequently labeled and “libeled” as the most
intellectual and ultra-sophisticated artists of the abstract school of
modern art. And, for once, I wanted to point at one them, freeze the moment
and ask “Are there differences of categories in the simplistico-intellectual
style of Minimalism today?” I am not talking about the New York school but,
the universal Minimalism genre! This was one of the questions I wanted Judy
Cox to reply to but, she walked ten times faster than me and was twenty
times more agile in her fast moving and running than my religiously
calculated steps. I missed her! I missed three times!!
Perhaps elegant
minimal or large marble fragments mysteriously blending into or magically
attached to a framed piece of linen! A simple composition in white, off
white, grayish-white and all sorts of nuances and tones of light grays to
transparent whites! Judy calls that “MINIMALISM”, and I do completely agree
with her!!
