Gage Jack

Jack Gage is an American artist who was born in 1946. He was largely inspired by the sixties. Artistically, the decade started with the twin movements of Pop and Minimalism emerging side by side. On the one hand, Pop defended the visual culture of the mainstream and mass media, and of products and consumerism. The artwork of artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann and Claes Oldenberg is inspired by the popular culture of the rapidly developing capitalism of the United States, centering on things like advertising, comic books and ideas about celebrity culture. visual cues. A parallel movement developed on the West Coast in California - a kind that also involved language in art, and is seen as the first bloom of conceptual art. Minimalism developed a language of form without external references, focusing solely on line, color and geometric form as important components of both painting and sculpture. The main figures of minimalism were Frank Stella, Donald Judd and Agnes Martin. Pop Art was a prominent offshoot of minimalism, a discipline that came to prominence through the work of artists such as Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Worldwide, many artistic movements resonated with the creative concerns of the aforementioned movements, often with regional fortes and nuance. In Italy Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni founded Spatialism, and in Germany the Zero group led by Gunter Uecker adopted similar ideas. The influential school of existentialist philosophy was a major source of creativity for artists, with artists such as Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti becoming known worldwide for their distinctive approaches to the human form and the fear associated with the human condition.
