A painting is in essence nothing more than a flat surface, but when colors are added and lines are drawn to form shapes on it, it takes on a depth and an illusion of three-dimensionality. Judd started his career as a painter, but having studied philosophy and working as an art critic, he tried to overcome this formula for painting and arrived at three-dimensional works that were neither painting nor sculpture. The unit he employed had a form that was reduced to the simplest and made of industrial materials. Repeating this unit, he created a solid totality and order with a beauty that was taut, stern, and exact. Like this example, they make typical works of Minimal Art.
