THE MAIN THING

WRONG
WITH PAINTING
IS THAT IT IS A RECTANGULAR PLANE PLACED FLAT AGAINST ATHE

   A RECTANGLE IS A SHAPE
WALL.

ITSELF; IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE
WHOLE SHAPE;                      IT DETERMINES    AND   LIMITS   THE
ARRANGEMENT OF WHATEVER IS ON OR INSIDE OF IT.

“It isn’t necessary for a work to have a lot of things to look at, to
compare, to analyze one by one, to contemplate. The thing as a
whole, its quality as a whole, is what is interesting. The main things
are alone and are more intense, clear and powerful.”

Carl Andre
   •   Born 1935
   •   Close friend with Frank
       Stella
   •   Influenced by
       “constructivist” technique
       and works by Ezra Pound
       among other pieces of
       literature



“Art excludes the unnecessary.
[…] I’m not interested in
expression or sensitivity.”
Essay on Sculpture, 1964   Map of Poetry, 1966
—Carl Andre                —Carl Andre
•Before Carl Andre moved
              to sculpture, he was
              working with literature and
              philosophy

              •Andre was influenced by
              the works of Ezra pound

              •These poems came in the
              transition between
              literature and sculpture

              •The “poems” are similar to
              minimalist sculpture in that
              the content is not
Poem, 1966    important, while the

Carl Andre
Andre worked with three types of
minimalist sculpture in his career:

1. Sculpture as form
2. Sculpture as structure
3. Sculpture as place
Sculpture as Form
                            •Pieces usually consisted of
                            wooden blocks

                            •Always comprised of
                            geometric shapes

                            •Stand vertical

                            •No complex shapes

Sculpture as Structure
                    •Stacked units

                    •More complex shapes

                    •Usually stand vertical




Cedar Piece, 1959

Still Blue Range, 1989
—Carl Andre
Sculpture as Place
                       •Less rigid characteristics
                       than the other types of
                       sculpture

                       •Pieces spread across the
                       ground

                       •No definite size, shape, or
                       material used

                       •The piece of art defines
                       the space that it occupies

Criticism
• Not the work of the
  artists

• No meaning
• Not beautiful
• Not creative




                        Equivalent VIII, 1966
                        —Carl Andre
Minimalism
• Eliminate the unnecessary
• Create a single object
• Experience reality in the most direct way


“Everything is still. Everything is repeated. Everything is
obvious. The accumulation of facts collapses perception.
The indicated sum of these simple series is irreducible
complexity. And impenetrable chaos. They astound.”

                                           —Mel Bochner
