Hinweis der Redaktion
- My Presentation is on the Life and Works of Robert Mangold, an American Minimalist Artist. After viewing Mangold’s work and reading his story, I decided that here was an artist I wanted to learn more about. I wanted to see his work from his eyes and understand its meaning from his thoughts.
- A general overview gives highlights of the Biography of Robert Mangold. He is an American artist born October 12, 1937 in North Tonawanda New York. He spent most of his childhood in Buffalo before enrolling in the Cleveland Institute of Art in illustration and painting programs. In 1959, he received a Yale University Summer Art fellowship which lead to an enrollment and graduation in 1961 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and in 1963 a Master of Fine Arts. Awards he has received in his career are: 1966 the National Council for the Arts Award; 1993 the Skowhegan Medal for painting; and in 2001 the Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Mangold received a visual arts fellowship in 1967 from the National Endowment of the Arts and two years later a Guggenheim memorial grant. From 1963 to 1970 he was a professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York and now currently lives and works in New York. These are all prestigious honors and reflects a life of hard work and dedication to the field of Fine Arts. But, who is the Artist, Robert Mangold, his art and his inspiration for the pieces he produces.
- His work began in naturalism and quickly moved into abstraction until he settled on a minimalistic style that has remained until today (Williams, E. 2005). Minimal art was popular in the early sixties and is defined as art that “exclude(s) subject matter, symbolic meanings, personal content, and hidden messages of any kind”(Frank, 2011. p. 411). It was art that “referred to nothing outside itself, told no story except for its own shapes and colors” (Frank, 2011. p. 411). Mangold’s early work showed exactly that. He created monochromatic paintings and geometric canvases (artnet.com). He was influenced by abstract expressionist artists and his work “typically explores properties of illusionism in painting” (artnet.com).
- In an interview for the television show, Art21 Robert Mangold described his perception when he began painting. The thing that began to fascinate him about painting is that it didn’t deal with time in the sense that other media does. You can walk around a sculpture before you can come to a conclusion about the sculpture. A painting doesn’t give you any of that time.
- In nature Sunlight and great cloud formations give great inspiration, but those things do not influence his paintings. He gets his inspiration from culture. “The culture that comes from the history of art and the culture of our times” (art21.org).
- The central theme for all of Mangold’s paintings is geometry. He allows the pencil lines that were used to mark and measure the work to remain on show as part of the surface pattern.
- We can see the lines here as circular patterns within the larger geometric borders of the finished piece. Another crucial aspect of Mangold’s art is color. He has experimented with a full spectrum of hues over the years ranging from the primary colors to softer pastel shades (Williams, 2005).
- “For over five decades, Mr. Mangold has been mining an extremely spare combination of shape, color and line (always drawn in dark pencil) with consistently outstanding results that reveal the thoughtfulness of beauty in both classical and contemporary terms” (Smith, R., 2014)
- We can see from these next two slides the immense size of some of his works. He scales it perfectly for human viewing so that the piece itself emits a centrifugal force that draws the eye and even the person into his artwork.
- Mangold is referred to as the most important of the “Minimal” artists because of his ability to produce work of “intellectual and visual power with such severity of means” (Obendorf, H. 2009, p. 30). He excludes from his works such concerns as “illusion, image, space, composition, climax, hierarchy of interest, movement, emotional content, painterliness, interest in materials or processes, and any sort association or reference to anything other than the physical painting itself” (Obendorf, H. 2009, p. 30).
- Mangold's work can be found in approximately 75 public collections in the United States and abroad including these listed in this slide. The exhibit distinction listed shows the notoriety and critical recognition that Mangold and his work has. I was unable to label his success in financial terms. But, his dedication to his visually simplistic yet philosophically complex designs mark Mangold as truly one of the greats. His work will for ever be relevant as he continues to capture culture as it ever changes in the future
- Using Robert Mangold’s style, I produced this piece of artwork. Geometry is primary in Mangold’s work and I used the rectangle to represent a frame. I also wanted to introduce a circle in and the curvilinear lines used in most of Mangold’s works. There is possibly too much movement in this piece to be considered minimalistic. It is though inspired by the work of Robert Mangold.
