Donald Judd

Donald Judd was a pivotal figure in the minimalist art movement, emphasizing simplicity and form. His work consists of geometric shapes and industrial materials, often presented in a modular format. Judd believed that art should exist as an object in space, highlighting its physical presence rather than representing something else. This approach challenged traditional notions of art as mere representation and encouraged viewers to engage with the artwork directly. His emphasis on precision, space, and viewer interaction has had a lasting influence on contemporary art and how we understand the relationship between objects and their environment.
