Thank you for making this, I have an exam coming up on modern art and this was super informative, and witty ( Louie should definitely submit his art to Whitney). Minimalist art is incredibly frustrating to me, especially when spiritual/post-impressionist art that is very subjective is my favorite. I guess that's the idea of minimalism: To create objectivity in a space that invites us to impose our opinions on the space presented. Either way thank you! :)
Thanks for making me understand this type of art more! Very interesting how the critics were playing by the artists hands in criticizing their work as "not art"!
I spent a little time with a natural process minimalist, His work revolved around the aging of materials, and the effect of time on them. It is a brilliant basis to build a future movement on. Minimalist broke the back of the absurdity brought by abstract expressionist which I find selfish and short sighted. Art without social context is just that. But, art whose only mission is context? A row of bricks in the MET is no longer a row of bricks... Anymore than paint splatters on a canvas is.
This was extremely interesting to me - thank you! I had a serious misperception of what minimalism truly meant, as I have been delving into abstract painting and mistakenly assumed that having less "stuff" in a painting made it a "minimalist abstract". Along those lines, however, I have found that it is far more difficult to keep things simple (but still interesting) than it is to allow complexity to inevitably creep in.
I read somewhere that the originator's were using unrecognizeable forms as art elements rather than repeating or copying or duplicating things from everyday experience . . . using line, color, shape, texture, etc as the tools to express beauty
I really like this sentence in critique, what Waterhouse said. Bricks are bricks... Yeah...! Exactly. Bricks are bricks... :D And this si what it is. This is minimalism. I Don't know if I like it. I would lie if I said I don't. There are some peoce of minimalism art that I like. In the end.. Art isn't about like or don't. Art is art and this is what it is. I love this ideas.Of course I like to paint 'nice' things or express how I feel. But I appreciate art like this too!
I understand that the idea of minimalism is to deny everything the abstract expressionists were proposing in meanings and ideas, but I also think that the artists can't really deny the complexity of anything in a globalized world. When you put one or hundreds of bricks on the floor and claim the right to call them art based in your speech and what you are saying is that bricks are just bricks and therefore they're simple, you're automatically erasing centuries of knowledge that made that brick be possible. Lots of people putted their work in making different kinds of bricks before you could say that a brick is simple, lots of shapes and materials were studied and developed so you could choose that specific brick between so many that serves different kinds of works, and when you say that a brick is just a brick you're erasing all this complexity just so that object can serve your purpose. It's unfair.
Perhaps it's the celebration of exactly those things you notice, i.e.the value of a brick, and contemplating the efforts that made the brick object...instead of a viewer reacting to an emotion arising from color, shape, subject matter, distortion, etc. as a subjective expression of one individual artist imposing their feelings onto a canvas and any viewers of it. In all cases art can be a revealer.
Abstract and Minimalism is for people who aren't really talented artists. Let's face it anyone can scribble and splash paint around. I know I'm not expressing anything new in my criticism about this topic but come on folks this is such a scam.

Amazing video! I love minimalism but I found this video very intresiting and informative
Hi I really enjoyed this video...
👌
Everything could be an art if an artist puts in the gallery and calls it an art.
I almost fall asleep. Great content, however, the tone of your voice was very distracted, almost without motivation.

I still dont like it and i cant really explain why and that is annoying

It’s a part of the rich tapestry of visual language. Subliminal signifiers that pare things back to a core emotion or void
I find it intriguing
@@joelw5996 wow you have imsticts how crazy
Joel W Well put 👏
@@zyncxec3658 what?
Minimalism is for those who are not good craftmen
Not art but piles of rubble...Why not piles of cow dung,and call that art?
boring
I'm looking at crap stuff that a toddler could make...what?!
