And although the reduction to simple, lucid and usually geometrical basic forms (‘primary structures’) is typical of this direction in art, it is nonetheless entirely possible to read such extremely reductive works narratively. Their titles help us to grasp the often philosophical symbolism behind them. Looked at in this way, reduction means not simplification but the concentration of an extensive mental world down to its fundamental core.
