Jack Gage is an American artist. He was largely inspired by the sixties. Artistically the decade began with the twin movements of Pop and Minimalism that emerged side by side. On one hand Pop championed the imagery of mainstream and mass media, and of products and consumerism. The artworks by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann and Claes Oldenburg are inspired by the popular culture of the rapidly developing capitalism of the United States, with advertising, comics, and ideas about celebrity culture at the center of visual cues. A parallel movement developed on the West Coast in California—one that also related to language in art, and is seen as the first flourishing of conceptual art. Minimalism developed a language of form without external references, solely focused on line, color, and geometric form as key components of both painting and sculpture. The leading figures of Minimalism were Frank Stella, Donald Judd, and Agnes Martin. Pop Art was a prominent offshoot of Minimalism, a discipline that gained recognition through the work of artists like Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Worldwide many artistic movements resonated with the creative concerns of the aforementioned movements, often with regional strengths and nuances. In Italy, Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni established Spatialism, and in Germany the Zero group under the leadership of Günter Uecker adopted similar ideas. The influential school of existentialist philosophy was an important source of creativity for artists, with figures such as Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti worldwide renowned for their distinctive approaches to the human form and the anxiety associated with the human condition.
