What was michelangelo famous for

Summary of Robert Morris

Robert Morris was one of the central figures of Minimalism. Through both his own sculptures of the 1960s and theoretical writings, Morris set forth a vision of art pared down to simple geometric shapes stripped of metaphorical associations, and focused on the artwork's interaction with the viewer. However, in contrast to fellow Minimalists Donald Judd and Carl Andre, Morris had a strikingly diverse range that extended well beyond the Minimalist ethos and was at the forefront of other contemporary American art movements as well, most notably, Process art and Land art. Through both his artwork and his critical writings, Morris explored new notions of chance, temporality, and ephemerality.

Accomplishments

• In the mid-1960s, Morris created some of the key exemplars of Minimalist sculpture: enormous, repeated geometric forms, such as cubes and rectangular beams devoid of figuration, surface texture, or expressive content. These works forced the viewer to consider the arrangement and scale of the forms themselves, and how perception shifted as one moved aro

  Jason deCaires Taylor FRSS, born in 1974 to an English father and a Guyanese mother, is a sculptor, environmentalist and professional underwater photographer. After graduating from the London Institute of Arts in 1998 with a BA Honours in Sculpture, Taylor became the first of a new generation of artists to shift the concepts of the Land art movement into the realm of the marine environment.

  His permanent site-specific sculptural works are predominately exhibited in submerged and tidal marine environments, exploring modern themes of conservation and environmental activism. Over the past 18 years, Taylor has been one of the first to consider the underwater realm as a public art space and is best known for his numerous large-scale underwater museums and sculpture parks.

  Taylor gained international recognition in 2006 with the creation of the world’s first underwater sculpture park, situated off the West coast of Grenada in the West Indies. Moilinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park is now listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic. The park was instrumen
