Minimalist
Our ODDguest today Mr. Alan Shields was said to be a Post-Minimalist. Who exactly makes up these art categories anyway?
“Post-Minimalism” - Although minimalist art of the 1960s had a stripped-down, prefabricated look, striving to be free of content (free of allegorical qualities), art with minimalist tendencies from the 1970s onward typically became more content-laden.”
Wikipedia says that “The keystone of post-minimalism is the often distinct references to objects without direct representation.”
Thus it is that we strive today to be free of content.
I wrote a verse, I chose a rhyme,
My words spoke all my thought.
“Come death, for I have conquered time,
‘Tis all I sought.”
My former voice seems out of chime,
My future words all dumb,
Yet I have conquered death and time,
Let what may come ~~”The Road to Sinodun”, George D. Painter, Biographer of Proust whose principal career was as a distinguished incunabulist at the British Museum.
Oh to be a distinguished incunabulist.
