Week 7 : Less is more, More is Less

According to an artist of the Abstract Expressionist, Ad Reinhardt, one whose reductive nearly all-black paintings seemed to anticipate minimalism, had this to say about the value of a reductive approach to art: "The more stuff in it, the busier the work of art, the worse it is. More is less. Less is more. The eye is a menace to clear sight. The laying bare of oneself is obscene. Art begin with the getting rid of nature.
