Who are some current minimalist artists?

Can you name any well-known artists who don't use space/perspective correctly?

  • I suppose you could name some current artists, but really I'm looking for some more historical artists who were spatially challenged. And I don't mean abstract expressionists, rather I mean artists who tried to do things properly but ended up with some idiosyncratic work instead. About myself: I'm spatially challenged and trying my hand at drawing/pen and ink. It's a huge obstacle, it affects everything I do and makes the process very slow... but I still think you can be a decent artist without understanding the 3d component.

  • Answer:

    Ok, I dont want be quick to judge, but most everyone has an incredibly hard time of understanding space/depth/perspective when it comes to drawing, and this takes years and years of spending an hour a day to perfect it to just learn the basics of sometimes. Unless you're telling me you have this "spatial awareness issue" just making sure you are writing evenly in between the lines on a notebook, what you sound like your saying is that you're blaming your failures in some sort of "uncontrollable brain... thing". As for artists who dont care for anatomy or perspective, there are plenty. Of course famous guys like Picasso and even Salvador Dali at times. But if anyone where to obscure physics and space, its often with an purpose, and anyway those two artists did things "their way" after learning all the correct ability. to quote Picasso he says something like "I spent a lifetime to draw accurately to in the end choose to draw like a child". You are right to say that yeah, you can be called an Artist even without any skills but reading that you're implying "decent" artist, you really can't apply any sort of description of quality if you are trying to advertise your drawing ability as your focus if you intend not to master it. You probably would rather be looked in to "Conceptual Artist", which doesn't involve any decency of ability, just portraying your point in meaning. Just a word of caution when entering the art world with this ideal, don't expect to say "but its only my style" if you are asking for an evaluation of your talent when it comes to this arena because you're only going to lead on to the wrong answers for the rest of us...

Show me where it is written that a work of art must be 3 dimensional, because there are a tone that are not. the artist chose not to use it and to flatten out his/her work to make a statement. Look at the word of Edouard Manet. The flatness used by the Manet and the Impressionists was something they learned from the Japanese. Much of modern art is 2-d also, David Hockney comes to mind. My favorite who played with perspective, but who understood it perfectly and used it to confuse was M. C. Escher.
