Minimalism Trends of contemporary
Minimalism emerged in the late 1950s and early 1970s, led by artists like Frank Stella, Carl Andre, Dan Flavin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, and Sol LeWitt. These artists reacted against Abstract Expressionism and sought to reduce art to its most basic and essential forms through simplification of shape and reduction of unnecessary elements. They were influenced by post-war American culture that valued simplicity and ideas from earlier artistic movements like Constructivism. Minimalist works feature industrial materials and geometric forms to draw attention to the interplay between the artwork, space, and viewer.
Minimalism
Minimalism began in the 1950s and 1970s as an art movement that used simple geometric shapes and repeated patterns to strip art down to its most fundamental form. It was influenced by abstract expressionism and constructivism. Key minimalist artists discussed include Donald Judd, who focused on boxes, stacks, and progression in his work; Frank Stella, known for his monochrome and controlled paintings; Dan Flavin, who used colored fluorescent lights; and Sol LeWitt, who primarily made wall drawings and wrote instructions for collaborators to create his art.
Calder
Alexander Calder was an American sculptor and painter born in 1898 in Pennsylvania. He began making sculptures out of found materials as a child. After studying engineering, he moved to Paris in 1926 where he began making kinetic wire sculptures inspired by the circus, called "Cirque Calder". These mobile sculptures moved with air currents and became his signature style. Calder gained international fame for his large-scale public sculptures later in his career. He continued sculpting and painting until his death in 1976.
A Whimsical Motion: The Oeuvre of Alexander Calder
Alexander Calder was an American sculptor born in 1898 who pioneered kinetic art. He began creating small sculptures that moved in 1909. In the 1920s, he studied engineering but rediscovered his passion for art. In 1926 in Paris, he created Cirque Calder, a life-sized kinetic circus. This led him to develop mobiles, abstract sculptures moved by air currents, and stabiles, static sculptures. Calder created mobiles and stabiles for decades, gaining recognition. His largest works were commissioned internationally in the 1950s-70s, making him one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century.

Minimalism emerged in the 1960s as a reaction to Abstract Expressionism. Minimalist artists aimed to eliminate emotion, allusion, and meaning from their work by creating simple geometric objects and structures. Key minimalist artists included Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Carl Andre, Sol LeWitt, Robert Morris, and Dan Flavin. Their work used basic forms and industrial materials to focus attention on the objects themselves rather than on symbolism or expression.
Minimalism
Minimalism arose in the 1960s as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism. It is characterized by simple geometric forms, industrial materials, repetition, and an emphasis on the basic elements of art. Key artists of the movement included Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, and Dan Flavin. They created reductive sculptures and installations using materials like steel, Plexiglas, and fluorescent lights to draw attention to form and the viewer's experience. Though criticized as too simplistic, Minimalism had a significant influence on later movements like Post-Minimalism and remains influential today in design and architecture.

Norman Rockwell, American Artist
Norman Rockwell is beyond doubt the most popular painter of the United States of the 20C, not just in America but elsewhere as well. His popularity probably lies in his ability to tell a story, supported by a wealth of details for viewers to discover and his skill to capture moods and expressions. Often his painting is humorous too, the awkwardness of youth, the embarrassment of courting couples, pride in country, history and heritage, reverence, loyalty and compassion. He painted the American Dream. He also has the skills of accuracy and of observation, as the old masters did. Like the Durer, Titan and the Rubens, he is also very successful commercially. Like Michelangelo throughout all his professional career, awarded with many private and public commissions. Like the Van Dyck, Gainsborough, Holbien, he painted the rich and famous. Because of his longevity, he had painted the Boy Scout movement, the technological advances, social developments, the Civil Rights movement and wars of the 20C. Norman Rockwell was demonized by a generation of critics who not only saw him as an enemy of modern art, but of all art. He was an outside the art establishment. The most common criticism of his works is that he chose to depict only the good side of the American experience. This is not altogether true, his works on the Civil Movement, bear witness to that. At times he acted as a social campaigning artist. His used the ordinary American as his subject. He genuinely like people and painted them with benevolent affection. Today a mosaic of one of his painting (Golden Rule, 1961) is hung at the entrance to the Headquarter of the United Nations, in New York. A recognition of his dream of a peaceful world between all races. Using achievements and compare to those achievements made by the old masters, I come see why Norman Rockwell as the greatest American artist of the 20th Century. Centuries from today, his works will still be remembered while others have long been forgotten. This is part of a Powerpoint series on the American painters.
