About the Art

Welcome to THE MINIMUM BIBLE, the home of the minimalist artwork of Joseph Novak. In an age of information overflow, sometimes we need to strip away the many words which obfuscate meaning and rely on simple symbolic shapes to introduce us to themes beyond the text. The art featured on this site is an attempt to portray themes and texts visually using a minimalist style.
