( ) This was an interesting meander which started with a question about why everyone is so into minimalism and then a breakdown of where the term itself originated from in varying forms from art, music, and Japanese history. I liked the questioning because I ask it of myself too, but some of the journey didn’t hold my interest as much. The subtitle, Living with minimalism, might be a little misleading. It's not a guide on how to live with less, but a review of minimalist trends in art, music and popular culture. Kyle Chayka does a good job of showing that the desire for less and the aesthetic of simplicity have been around for a long time. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
"Kyle Chayka is one of our sharpest cultural observers. After spending years covering minimalist trends for leading publications, he now delves beneath this lifestyle's glossy surface, seeking better ways to claim the time and space we crave. He shows that our longing for less goes back further than we realize. His search leads him to the philosophical and spiritual origins of minimalism, and to the stories of artists such as Agnes Martin and Donald Judd; composers such as John Cage and Julius Eastman; architects and designers; visionaries and misfits. As Chayka looks anew at their extraordinary lives and explores the places where they worked--from Manhattan lofts to the Texas high desert and the back alleys of Kyoto--he reminds us that what we most require is presence, not absence. The result is an elegant new synthesis of our minimalist desires and our profound emotional needs"-- Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
