Speranza
"In favour of Minimalism we might hear an appeal
to the beauty of 'desert landscapes'. But such
an appeal I would regard as inappropriate; we
are not being asked by a Minimalist to give our
vote to a special, and no doubt very fine, type
of landscape; we are being asked to express our
preference for an ordinary sort of landscape at
a recognisably lean time; to rosebushes and
cherry-trees in mind-winter, rather than in
spring or summer. What bothers me about what
I am being offered is not that it is bare, but
that it has been systematically and relentlessly
undressed" Grice, op.cit.
