Ad Reinhardt's black paintings are atop my list of favorite pieces for this reason:
Reinhardt pushes painting into the realm of music and film. That is, unlike conventional paintings, his cannot be seen in an instant, they must be experienced over time. With a conventional painting, there's no element of time, the experience can be collapsed into an instantaneous image.
In his black paintings, Reinhardt incorporates the element of time into his work - just as your eyes must acclimate to a dark room, your eyes must acclimate to see the varying dark tones in a Reinhardt painting. You can't just look at it and instantaneously see all there is to see, there's an adjustment period.
Musings on instantaneous vs experiential art aside, Reinhardt's dark minimalist aesthetic certainly fits with that of SZ."He described this initial impetus as like discovering that they both were looking at the same intriguing specific tropical fish, with attempts to understand it leading to a huge ferocious formalism he characterizes as a shark that leapt out of the tank."

i really like that idea of taking work strictly located in a certain medium and pushing its boundaries to instill in it the qualities of other media...am definitely fascinated with the idea of reaching a logical endpoint of something, 'the end of painting' 'the end of photography' and seeing what, if anything can lie beyond that space
