Minimalist approach to design concept is quite prominent in the Bauhaus Design School. The poster designs (plate 2A-2D) with simplicity in form, color and typographic style shows the composition in space is quite judiciously applied. The simplicity and clarity in design composition has set the new trend in art, architecture and design for the future generation. Typographical font and selection of style in the posters certainly has contributed and created strong impact in the future advertisement and 2D poster design. The dominance of straight line confirms to the architecture style that evolve around Bauhaus teaching and style.
Abstract Expressionism
(Source:http://twilightstarsong.blogspot.in/2010/02/arty-farty-op-art-friday-victor.html; February 21, 2013)
Abstract Expressionists such as Kenneth Nolan, Frank Stella, Ellsworth Kelly and Al Held explored "Hard Edge" and "Minimal" aspect of color and shape relationships. Frank Stella used minimal color in a hard edge style on shaped canvas. His work is the most representational of this movement. This movement was shaped by the color theories of the Bauhaus, particularly Joseph Albers. After the Bauhaus, Albers founded the BlackMountainSchool in the United States. Nolan attended the school, and its influence was strongly felt among this group. |
