They certainly aren't connected with the old geometric art. My work isn't geometric in that sense.

Building is just skilled labor, I suppose. It's a lot of work. I don't mind other people building them, but the way things go together and are made is interesting to me; I like that a lot.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

The art and architecture of t...

The art and architecture of the past that we know is that which remains. The best is that which remains where it was painted, placed or built. Most of the art of the past that could be moved was taken by conquerors. Almost all recent art is conquered as soon as it's made, since it's first shown for sale and once sold is exhibited as foreign in the alien museums. The public has no idea of art other than that it is something portable that can be bought. There is no constructive effort; there is no cooperative effort. This situation is primitive in relation to a few earlier and better times.

Any combining, mixing, adding...

Any combining, mixing, adding, diluting, exploiting, vulgarizing, or popularizing of abstract art deprives art of its essence and depraves the artist's artistic consciousness. Art is free, but it is not a free-for-all.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

It isn't necessary for a work...

It isn't necessary for a work to have a lot of things to look at, to compare, to analyze one by one, to contemplate. The thing as a whole, its quality whole, is what is interesting. The main things are alone and are more intense, clear and powerful.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

You’re getting rid of the thi...

You’re getting rid of the things that people used to think were essential to art. But that reduction is only incidental. I object to the whole reduction idea…if my work is reductionist it’s because it doesn’t have the elements that people thought should be there. But it has other elements I like.

Somewhere a portion of contem...

Somewhere a portion of contemporary art has to exist as an example of what the art and its context were meant to be.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

It takes a great deal of time...

It takes a great deal of time and thought to install work carefully. This should not always be thrown away. Most art is fragile and some should be placed and never moved again.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

The older painting - well, it...

The older painting - well, it does have an effect all at once, I suppose, but it's of a lesser intensity than a lot of the American work in the last ten or fifteen years.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

There's probably more in the American tradition than people give the place credit for.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

Well, I think there are artis...

Well, I think there are artists who are more or less contemporary with Hopper who are more relevant.

And then we moved to New Jersey and I went to the Art Students League.

Pollock looks unusual and radical even now.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

But I think that's a particul...

But I think that's a particular kind of experience involving a certain immediacy between you and the canvass, you and the particular kind of experience of that particular moment.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

Tolstoy may not be showing that much of Russia at that time even. It's hard to tell. You tend to associate the quality of the period with what's lasted - what's still good. And that quality becomes the whole period.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

I recognize very much in Hopper that it does look like the United States; it looks like the 30's and my first impressions of everything, all of which I have to deal with and which gets mixed up in my work and probably gets mixed up in everybody else's work too.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

But I think you have to - wha...

But I think you have to - whatever the environment looks like, it does enter into people's art work one way or another; it's very remote or it isn't. It's remote in my work but it has to have a certain degree of ordinariness.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

Usually when someone says a t...

Usually when someone says a thing is too simple, they're saying that certain familiar things aren't there, and they're seeing a couple maybe that are left, which they count as a couple, that's all.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

You're only dealing with what...

You're only dealing with whatever you know, which is a very small part of it and later on it'll look like it has something to do with the period. Obviously, the artists have something to do with one another. They tend to set up certain common qualities among themselves.

Donald Judd 22 quotes

I don't think geometric art i...

I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity.
