This week in WASH only had one lecture. I couldn't believ how few there was, and it was discussing Minimal Art. It was pretty interesting, with how powerful the artwork was even though there was the minimum amount necessary to construct the art. Some artists that did minimal art are:
Carl Andre: He used magnesium in many of his sculptures. Many of his sculptures also looked like tile, and you are even allowed to walk across them in art galleries, which was pretty amazing.
Donald Judd: He used more of industrial pieces for his sculptures. And they often looked like stair ateps. 
Frank Stella: The picture above was a painting by him. He used many stripes in his paintings. He painted them all by hand as well, which seems like it would take a very steady hand.
Dan Flavin: Lots of his artwork contained florescent light bulbs suspended to the walls.
Minimal Art is very interesting an unique. The Chinati Foundation also seems like it wouuld be a very interesting place to visit one day.
