I wouldn't be surprised if Judd felt the same way about that box when he let his theory down.Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-1268703905687088212011-07-05T22:19:12.588-04:002011-07-05T22:19:12.588-04:00Donald Judd's box is not "realism".I...Donald Judd's box is not "realism".It is minimalist abstraction.While it is true that these taxonomies can be difficult,this one is elementary.For a piece of art to be realistic it has to successful degree make an illusion of reality. Judd's stupid box makes no such attempt.fantazoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09612699707665354289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-44243405806041513412010-08-04T07:41:00.402-04:002010-08-04T07:41:00.402-04:00Linda, I'm pleased that you like this post.

Categorizing art is always a difficult business, but the "realism" label has long rankled.<br /><br />I couldn't find much on Heise, which I why I didn't link to anything, but he did do some interesting engravings of plants.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-60581045195348322522010-08-03T20:26:48.837-04:002010-08-03T20:26:48.837-04:00Superb commentary and art history lesson rolled in...Superb commentary and art history lesson rolled into one. I like the term "precisionism" for contemporary "realist" paintings. They are so photographic that it always seems as though the subject is not really important; it is all about technique and surface. <br /><br />I am unfamiliar with Heise; great self-portrait. I will have to search out his work.LINDA from EACH LITTLE WORLDhttp://eachlittleworld.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
