Martin, Robert Morris, Anne Truitt
“Barnett Newman and his acres of the sublime has been pointed out as a
forerunner of Minimalism. Not for me any Vir Heroicus Sublimis.
Transcendent trash.”

Robert Morris
“one of the conditions of knowing an object is supplied by the sensing of
the gravitational forces acting upon it in actual space.”
Robert Morris “Notes on Sculpture” in Artforum, 1966
• Return of the ‘gesture’
• Relationship between the artist’s body and the production of
art
• Initially opposed to hard edged geometric abstraction
• The repetition of form first came through the process of
making rather than as outcome
