Walter De Maria
Walter De Maria was an American artist known for his minimalist and earthwork sculptures. He emerged as a prominent figure in the art world during the 1960s and 1970s. His visual style can be described as stark, geometric, and monumental. De Maria's sculptures often featured simple geometric forms, such as grids, circles, and lines, and were characterized by their large scale and precise arrangement. One of his most famous works is 'The Lightning Field' (1977) consisting of a grid of 400 stainless steel poles in the New Mexico desert. De Maria's emphasis on pristine geometric forms and the use of natural elements in his artworks became influential in the development of land art and minimalism.
