MINIMALISTIC THOUGHTS 3

What do Stella, Judd, Ryman and Lewitt have in common?

1. First of all; they break out of the canvas. From 2D to 3D. Rymann by making physical paintings.
   Stella removed in the early sixties small angles from the canvas in his Aluminum Series. In the middle of the sixties he produced monumental paintings, large V-shaped profiles, with an illusion that the fabric is pushed upward. Later the allusion to 3D dimensions is even more powerful, take a look at his Protractor series. Stella makes the leap to architecture when he no creates spatially paintings, but create space, edit space.
   Judd also began drawing and painting, he then started to have an interest in 3D and architecture. In his series: Specific Objects, Judd defended neither painting nor sculpture work: "Half or more of the best new work in the last few years HAS BEEN Neither painting nor sculpture."
   

LeWitt makes both 2D and 3D work and a lot of "in between". In the exhibition called 2D + 3D he shows his murals and three-dimensional structures.

2 Color: Judd unite color and space, Stella and Ryman create relief with color, just like Sol Lewit who investigates color relations.

3 Space is another faction that unites the artists. Space to be in, between and around. It is all about the object itself and the relationship that object enters with his or her environment. The objects create space. With every step, the artwork changes in front of the viewer compared to what it was before.
