What is Minimalism?

A lot of people don't "get" minimalism. They just don't understand the idea, or get bored. This video will explain what minimalism is, and the idea behind it - what it opposes. It begins with a video of sensory overload but ends as something else. Skipping to 1:45 will work.

Great video (sans the introduction) but Rothko is not a Minimalist, he is an Abstract Expressionist, and Minimalism was in reaction to and contradicting that. That is all technical, but beautiful video of Rothko (my favorite artist!)

@brieandchardonnay Yes, you're right, I just thought these two videos were a good contrast. Rothko is not a minimalist, but you could argue Morton Feldman is (the soundtrack). Anyway, the point was just to make a contrast to illustrate the feel of minimalism. Also, I didn't make either video, I stole them both from elsewhere on youtube :)

One of the best videos I've ever watched. This video most accurately shows what Minimalism is, without any kind of fancy explanation.
