p.1 #1 · #222: "Less is more"


The title is a quote from a summary of the style by Minimalist artist Ad Reinhardt. I couldn't get much "less" than this...

Great idea Cal. Minimalism at its best, both in the simplicity of the colors and form, and the single die at its simplest value. Very nicely done!

Nice job Cal, I like the idea a lot, very simple and clean...allows one to view the object without any other distractions

I think you have reduced everything to a minimum. Even the “one” side up emphasizes the minimalism and underlines the commitment to the assignment. I like it a lot.

Reminds one of Kazemir Malevich's "White on White" painting...

Bravo, Cal! Can't get much more minimal than this and still have a photo. Great take on the WA and perfectly shot. What kind of light did you use?

All the best,

Endre

Bob, Brad, Einar and Taylor: Thank you for the encouraging words!

Malinger, I haven't seen Kazemir Malevich's "White on White" painting, but I have seen reproductions and yes, I do see the resemblance. But in the reproductions, it appears to be more "blue on blue" than "white on white"

Endre, thank you! I experimented with my new MT-24EX flash on this one.

Rather than mirror others' comments, with which I agree, I'll add that I also like the composition quite a bit ... the angled orientation of the die creating just enough interest to avoid this being boring. Nicely done and spot on with the theme.
