Jack Gage is an American artist. He was largely inspired by the 1960s. The decade began artistically with the twin movements of Pop and Minimalism that emerged side by side. On one hand, Pop defended the imagery culture of mainstream and mass media, and of products and consumerism. The artwork by artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann and Claes Oldenberg is inspired by the popular culture of the rapidly developing capitalism of the United States, where things like 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 dealt with language in art, and is seen as the first flowering of conceptual art. Minimalism developed a vocabulaire of form without external references, solely focused on line, color and geometric shape 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 prominence through the work of artists such as Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley. Worldwide many artistic movements echoed the creative concerns of the aforementioned movements, often with regional fortes and nuances. In Italy, Lucio Fontana and Piero Manzoni founded Spatialism, and in Germany the Zero group under the leadership of Gunter Uecker adopted similar ideas. The influential school of existentialist philosophy was an important source of creativity for artists, with artists like Francis Bacon and Alberto Giacometti worldwide renowned for their distinctive approaches to the human form and the anxiety associated with the human condition.
