1. Like I'd mentioned in class the other day, it seems like both conceptual art and minimalism take art to its very basic form. However, conceptual art seems to concentrate more around things away to the basic ideas, while minimalism focuses on basic elements and materials, and the ideas behind them. Is this the difference between them? They are kind of the same to me.
2. Rosalind Krauss talks about Suzi Gablik's three categories of art: visual representation, mastery of perspective, and abstraction. According to Gablik, abstraction is the most complex and yet the most complete development part in art. However, I don't think that abstract art is more advanced or more intellectual than visual representation art. They are different from each other in terms of technique. I don't know if it is accurate to put art into three categories, even in a hierarchy sense with human relation.
