Minimalism: Art and Music in the Echo of Time
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Minimalism: Art and Music in the Echo of Time explores the philosophical and aesthetic principles of minimalism through both visual and auditory dimensions. The article traces the evolution of minimalist thought in modern art highlighting the works of Frank Stella and Agnes Martin and parallels it with the minimalist music of Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Through the lens of conscious listening and perception of time, the study reveals how repetition, silence, and subtle transformation redefine the relationship between the self and the surrounding world. The author further reflects on the minimalist spirit in Eastern philosophies and positions this movement as not merely a stylistic choice but a profound pathway to inner stillness. This interdisciplinary reflection bridges music theory, contemporary art, and meditative aesthetics.
