Donald Judd

Donald Judd was a minimalist artist. His work is very geometrical and simple. I love the symmetry of all his work. It is so crisp and clean.He also has a lot of repetition in all his work. It is very modern. I really like his collection of "Specific Objects", It first came to be because of an essay. He was a really good writing about art because that's how he put himself through school at Columbia taking night class at the Art Students League of New York and by day writing critiques for major American art magazines from 1959 - 65. "Specific Objects" is what lead him to create a new form of art. Where actual space is art not the space where art is created. By enclosing space that creates art in a three dimensional way. He also refused to call these sculptures, or paintings.
