Thoughts on Sculpture

Three dimensions are real space. That gets rid of the problem of illusionism and of literal space, space in and around marks and colours - which is riddance of one of the most salient and most objectionable relics of European art. The several limits of painting are no longer present. A work can be as powerful as it is thought to be. Actual space is intrinsically more powerful and specific than paint on a flat surface. -Donald Judd, in Arts Yearbook 8 (1965)

I really love this quote. Sculpture is for me the absolute highest form of Art. I love all mediums but Sculpture is truly at the zenith.

Sounds familiar, no?

TYRANNY, government. The violation of those laws which regulate the division and the exercises of the sovereign power of the state. It is a violation of -its constitution.

TYRANT, government. The chief magistrate of the state, whether legitimate or otherwise, who violates the constitution to act arbitrarily contrary to justice.
