| André is one of the most important representatives of Minimalism. Of the artists of his time, he particularly Frank Stella, with whom he collaborated 1958/59 and, above all, Constantin Brancusi, with his sculpture Endless Column, he is long and has set apart. Brancusi is used by some art historians as a precursor of Minimal Art, while Andrés first sculpture work, the nine stratified pyramids, as the first minimalist work is ever filed. Andrés early works revolve around the problem of a cut in the room, and Brancusi's work, he sees similar trends. In subsequent work focused on room-filling arrays of lines, reliefs or surfaces made of various materials, such as unprocessed wood, wooden planks, bricks, granite blocks, pieces of chalk or flat steel and copper plates, which occasionally spill over adjacent areas.
Since the mid-60s focused on extremely flat André Sculptures: fields that are of square or rectangular sheets made of various materials such as copper, lead, aluminum, steel, etc. that are placed edge to edge, which therefore does not make shadows and the viewer can enter. (Wikipedia.com) |
