Etching // Life Fly Lifes Flies by Bruce Nauman is a thought-provoking etching created for the portfolio celebrating Leo Castelli's 90th birthday. The artwork features text that reads LIFE FLY and LIFES FLIES, mirrored vertically, with the second line appearing in reverse. Nauman's exploration of language and perception is evident in this piece, as the mirrored and jumbled text prompts viewers to reflect on the fleeting nature of life and the passage of time. The simplicity of the black text on a white background allows the conceptual complexity to take center stage, a hallmark of Nauman's approach to art, where language becomes both the subject and the medium.

What is minimalism?
Minimalism is a style in music and visual arts characterized by pared-down designs and simplicity. It began in Western art after World War II, gaining prominence particularly in American visual arts. Minimalism draws heavily on aspects of modernism and is often viewed as a reaction against Abstract Expressionism, as well as a precursor to post-minimal art practices. Prominent minimalist artists include Agnes Martin, Donald Judd, Robert Morris, Frank Stella, and Dan Flavin.
