Untitled 1978

Editor: This is "Untitled" by Donald Judd. It's a print, part of the Harvard Art Museums collection. It has a very stark, minimalist feel. What do you see in the geometric forms? Curator: The linear quality is striking. Observe how the lines define the space, creating a tension between the represented form and the flatness of the paper. Do you perceive a relationship between the internal division and the implied exterior of the shape? Editor: I do, now that you mention it. It makes me consider the form's boundaries. Curator: Precisely. Judd uses the simplest means to evoke complex spatial relationships and force us to examine the essential nature of form. Editor: I see it now. It's all about the lines and the space they create. Thanks!
