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 defended the image culture 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 popular culture of the rapidly developing capitalism of the United States, where matters such as advertising, comics, and ideas about celebrity culture are central—visual cues. A parallel movement developed on the West Coast in California—a kind that also concerned language in art, and is seen as the first flowering of conceptual art. Minimalism developed a visual language without external references, focusing solely on line, color, and geometric form as important 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 fame through the work of artists such as Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Worldwide, many artistic movements resonated with the creative concerns of the aforementioned movements, often with regional strengths and nuance. 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 for existentialist philosophy was an important source of creativity for artists, with artists 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.
