Notas del editor
- No unifying materials, every artist used what he felt was the most appropriate and would make people confront the object.
- Expressionism was questioned as it is impossible to capture human emotion with paint.
- Abstract expressionism used thick globs of paint, which Stella avoided. This slide sums up his style as an artist.
- Uses house paint to emphasize the flatness of the canvas, you only are aware of something’s presence if it is highlighted. Makes the object define itself
- Stretcher bars, references itself. Makes you aware of it’s presence as an object as a whole.
- Uses aluminum which is reflective so all of the art is on the surface. Cuts out chunks that are unpainted – beginning to create shaped canvases. Art was trapped in the traditional rectangular canvas.
- Protrude out of the wall greatly which make them appear sculptural. Done in metallic purple paint which is reflective.
- The piece looks cheap and references Broadway, he pokes fun at religion. He tells us not to take it seriously. Icons are depictions of the holy family and everything is symbolic, which is not found here. He is suggesting that how the original icons praised God, his art praises and fills empty rooms.
- His first piece using only fluorescent lights. Like Duchamp he blurred the line between industrial object and art. He used only 10 factory made colors in 4 different lengths.
- “Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily” which is exactly what Flavin does. By showing three clusters of light he implies that they continue infinitely without showing every piece. Light also has this effect as it spreads and fills spaces indefinitely.
- Began to use what would traditionally be dead space in the gallery. He takes art off of the pedestal that most artists put their pieces on. He lets his art go in non-traditional spaces to illuminate areas that would typically not even be noticed.
- Tatlin is a Russian artist who wanted to create a large iron tower, but it was never built. Flavin was highly interested in Tatlin’s desire to unite art and technology, which he also attempted to do. It’s also interesting to note that though it is the “monument” series the bulbs will eventually burn out.
- These barrier-like pieces obstruct hallways and force the viewer to interact with the art as well as the architecture. They must find a way around the piece. Your eyes can go where your body can’t, he encourages perception of the light.
- The lights themselves dictate the rate of diagonal. Self referential
- Dialogue between the building and the site. Creates a richness of simplicity rather than emptiness. Quiz online: Judd or cheap furniture? You can see minimalist techniques in furniture
