More or Less

Updated: Jan 20, 2023

In Art Class, we were told that

Mondrian was a father of Minimalism.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

He preached the gospel that less is more.

Pare your works down to their core.


I followed that tenet for many years

But now consider it too austere.


As Shakepeare wrote,

'Let there be excess...'

So, restrict your opus

Under duress.


Except for a Strippagram,

I confess.

To make a point, not too raw -

In that case, less is truly more!

Great poem John. I think I might be an excessive minimalist
