I think the point with #797 is that the artists for each line are different, and thus there is compounding error. As it is, each line is identical to the last except for color.
- gabrielrotbart 8y agoMy first thought as well. It raises some interesting questions. Does the perfection of execution take away from the art? What if the meatbag artists were so highly skilled that they executed the same level of perfection? Does it mean different things?
- ZenPsycho 8y agoit turns out someone else has explored this exact question: http://blog.benwiener.com/programming/art/2017/08/24/lewitt.html http://blog.benwiener.com/programming/art/2017/08/24/lewitt.... As for what minimalist art "means", I think that's taking the wrong approach. It's more about how you feel when looking at it, what does it remind you of, what non verbal parts of your mind are activated?
