Concrete poem: Elements of the landscape:
A series of studies of the landscape presented in a pictogram / and reductive form. Reductive meaning: simplified / stripped back.
In the 1960's art schools became influenced by cybernetics and systems. This impacted on the development of 'Basic Design' and resulted in a reductive style in art and design which also became popular in the graphics, ceramics and textile industries.
