Granted it is a style on to itself, and as such there will always be impersonators; I agree that a piece of work should have only what it needs. I like minimalism, but I prefer work that is very busy as long as the elements tie into each other in some way. What this style came from is a reaction against people like Rand. The same happened with typography, creating the Grunge style. Modernist graphic style is very clean, logical, planned, and looks great. What happened is during the counter-culture movements there was a reaction against it towards anarchy, with organic and emotional flow. I'm sure you've see it too, from other works, like Pollock, where the "feeling" and "idea" is more important than the result even if it looks like crap. I love counter-culture because it explores things not as openly considered before it came about, even if it has become a cultural commodity in our generation. What I really respect is an artist that can combine the free flow and organic feel of grunge with the planning and balance of modernist style. Cheers, Apollo Haha, I’ve thought the same as well.
