Untitled (S.#194)
This beautiful color woodcut was originally published as a suite of seven prints—#193-199 in the Schellmann catalogue raisonne. Each print in the series presented a different color arrangement. This print, for example, has a background of deep cadmium yellow. The artist has bisected it with red hand-stencil printing that leaves a thick impasto on the print. The work is made on a special Japanese wove paper called Tosa Hanga.
Donald Judd eschewed the classical ideals of representational sculpture throughout his career. The artist worked with clear, definite objects—creating a rigorous visual vocabulary that avoided grand philosophical statements.
