Text in English and German
The Minimalist view uncovers the aesthetics of everyday life and transforms them into something extraordinary and inspiring. Here the works of fifteen selected international photo artists reveal the multifaceted range of a global movement. With their reduction to the essentials of geometry, colour, and contrast, the compositions evoke a soothing clarity - a counterpoint to a busy, restless world. This volume examines the work in an art historical context and argues why Minimalism is more relevant today than ever.
Photographers such as Maria Svarbova, Natalie Christensen, Matthieu Venot, and Maarten Rots borrow their motifs from everyday life. They can be schematic depictions of topography, or purely two-dimensional, abstract compositions. Sometimes they are detailed, sometimes large-scale. The point is always reduction.
