The Cruisin' Minimalist

When I inspect minimalist art, I do not value it and declare, "That's not minimalism.  It's not doing lacking."  In fact, the idea that minimalism is well-nigh focusing on that which we abandon or don't have is every entirely distorted perspective on simplicity.  Minimalist astuteness does without nothing.  It is of one blood to the old wood carver, who was asked in what plight he decided what to carve abroad of his length of raw copse.  His reply was simple.  "I purely look at the wood, and accompany what is in there.  Then I merited get rid of the stuff that doesn't belong."
