Historical origins and contradictions

Latest comment: 2 years ago3 comments3 people in discussion

How can minimalism be both part of Japanese traditions and have started after WW2?

And also, both Zen and Minimalism originated from Taoism in China 2500 years ago, and yet there is no mention of it in the article.

Yes, there should be a stronger distinction drawn between the general tendency across all time periods (which should probably be mostly covered in this article), and the specific 20th century movement (which should probably mostly be covered at Minimalism (visual arts)).--Pharos (talk) 16:22, 5 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

Two my kopecks.

While I agree on how the traits of minimalism come from Japan (such as wabi sabi); the 1950s have something to do with how this concept was borrowed and re-compiled by various artisan Westerners. Truth is, something similar happened to the word, known in English as "borscht": instead of recognizing the general idea of making a sour soup (which is found in Slavonic cuisine in many various forms), some people in charge of 1930s dictionaries made an entry for the borscht commonly found in Borscht belt and then tried to fit the rest of the family of borschts as a variation of that one particular popular borscht which had made it to the outskirts of New York first. 81.89.66.133 (talk) 16:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
