Actual Minimalism
Hey, no worries: These pieces weren’t made by art students trying to be witty and original. [Ed. note: It’s about time we had a graphic design minimalism backlash!]

Jonathan Bruder 2 years agoMost art is uninteresting and meaningless without context. It’s built on assumptions you may not have. Malevich’s work (a school of thought he called Suprematism) was a radical response to the oppressive political climate of the Russian revolution and was inspired by non-euclidian geometry. While it doesn’t make any sense divorced from that context, it’s pretty cool as part of a broader social conversation.

Stupid Flanders 2 years agoThat must have taken a lot of creativity. I wonder what’s next for Kazimir Malevich. Perhaps a white square? Or a black circle? Man, I should become an artist. I’ve got so many ideas!

Tanner Ringerud 2 years agoKazimir Malevich studied at the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Donald Judd attended night classes at the Art Students League of New York. Anne Truitt was associated with the artists’ colony Yaddo. Agnes Martin taught art courses at the University of New Mexico and received an M.A. from Columbia University. Dan Flavin studied art history at the New School for Social Research and studied painting and drawing at Columbia. In other words, almost all of these pieces were made by art students trying to be witty and original.
