A
bit of perspective: There was a movement
within the art world during the 1960s and early ‘70s referred to as
minimalism. The concept was that the art object could only be discussed in
terms of itself. It was what it was — period. The sculptor Don Judd
expressed it in the form of blank cubes. It was seen in paintings like Ad
Reinhardt’s "Black Painting" — a 5 foot square black
painting he described as “a painting that is simply a black painting
and nothing more.”
