Old Art Offers Just As Good A

I Decided That If My Work Contained What I Could Identify As A Likeness To Other Work, I Would Remove It.

Donald Judd Spoke Of A 'neutral' Surface, But What Is Meant? Neutrality Must Involve Some Relationship (to Other Ways Of Painting, Thinking?) He Would Have To Include These In His Work To Establish The Neutrality Of That Surface. He Also Used 'non' Or 'not' - Expressive - This Is An Early Problem - A Negative Solution Or - Expression Of New Sense - Which Can Help One Into - What One Has Not Known. 'neutral' Expresses An Intention.

Marcel Duchamp, One Of This Century's Pioneers, Moved His Work Through The Retinal Boundaries Which Had Been Established With Impressionism Into A Field Where Language, Thought And Vision Act Upon One Another. There It Changed Form Through A Complex Interplay Of New Mental And Physical Materials, Heralding Many Of The Technical, Mental And Visual Details To Be Found In More Recent Art... He Declared That He Wanted To Kill Art ("for Myself") But His Persistent Attempts To Destroy Frames Of Reference Altered Our Thinking, Established New Units Of Thought, A "new Thought For That Object."

Most Of The Power Of Painting Comes Through The Manipulation Of Space... But I Don't Understand That.

It's Simple, You Just Take Something And Do Something To It, And Then Do Something Else To It. Keep Doing This, And Pretty Soon You've Got Something.
