Summary:

From the furniture of Donald Judd to the cinema of Michelangelo
Antonioni and Wim Wenders, from the music of John Cage to the
buildings of Mies van der Rohe, Luis Barragan, and Arne Jacobsen, and
on to the theater of Samuel Beckett and the fiction of Ernest
Hemingway, Less is More: Minimalism in Architecture and Other Arts is
dedicated to the phenomenon of Minimalism. Perhaps the most
compelling multidisciplinary aesthetic of the past century,
minimalism continues to resonate and still points towards the future
for art, design, and culture. Quite a lot of the work that can be
characterized as "minimalist" draws its effect from the dialectical
interplay of two apparently contradictory forms--Minimalism and
Maximalism--and the artists presented here testify to this tradition,
drawing some unusual conclusions--but always making amazing art.
Tautly and attractively designed, Less is More is an essential guide
to all things minimalist.
