Carl Andre
Carl Andre, an American sculptor and poet, is a prominent figure in the Minimalist movement known for his grid-based sculptures and use of raw materials.
He is bold, stern, and confident.
Andre's artwork focuses on the space within and around the materials, often challenging traditional notions of sculpture.
His emphasis on simplicity reflects his philosophy of bringing art closer to the experience of daily life.
Born in 1935 in Quincy, Massachusetts, Andre moved to New York in the 1950s and became a key figure in the downtown arts scene.
Passionate about jazz music, he frequently attended live performances.
Andre also had a fascination with Eastern spirituality and meditation.
