if you like this review i now have website: www.michaelkamakana.com

240316: once upon a time... there was a newsstand a few storefronts from the coffeehouse, so i went there regularly to look and buy art magazines, now neither coffeehouse nor newsstand exist, so i no longer do this, but this book reminds me of all the pleasure even in 2-d reproductions and photos of works of art. so i rec this for everybody...

Terrific. Really helped me understand Minimalism, which I guess was the 'next' great American art movement after my beloved Abstract Expressionism. This form sometimes felt painfully erudite to me, as well as cold and inaccessible. I really appreciate the way this book explained it, so it is actually appealing, even beautiful.

A very interesting and inspirational read!

Makes you want to tackle everything in your life from relationships to money to get a clearer mindset and eradicate clutter from one's life, thoughts and home. Literally.

I've been challenging myself to either read or remove books from my to-read list that have been on there longer than 5 years, and trying to keep my to-read list under 100 books. This is one of those that I finally managed to get my hands on and take a look at. I think I was hoping that it would be about the minimalist movement in art and music, but it barely mentioned music and really is more of a coffee-table art book that I perused but didn't read every word of.

A little dry but interesting and good photos of works. A concise intro to minimalism.
