Minimalism/Literalism
|
A type of abstract art characterized by extreme simplicity of form, rigidity, use of industrial materials, and a deliberate lack of expressive content. Minimalism emerged in the 1950's and was particularly in the 1960's and 70's. Minimalism was criticized by Michael Fried who coined the term literalism in response to minimalist work. He had a problem with the theatricality of Minimalism and felt that a work of art should always be a work of art instead of having to be activated by a human presence, such as is necessary for minimal work. An example of a minimalist work would be Judd's Untitled pieces from '66.
