Donald judd
Donald was described as a minimalist and sculpturing but he disagreed with these as he thought his work wasn't these because he was looking at the change of art and design throughout america. I think nowadays we don't think of making a sculpture or whatever we just get on and create it and we have this concept in our head subconsciously.
Paul cezanne shows depth within a painting called the forest scene and this was to do with the colour and perspective of paint and he used simple marks.
Constantine Brancusi endless column, this is an object in an open space and there is no illusion this is what judd discussed in his famous essay, and how this type of sculpture isn't good.
Difference between cezannes painting and jasper johns false start painting, this painting shows text and a lack of depth. The words describe different colours and he is literally writing on what couloirs are used. Judd would describe it as just an object just not a sculpture or a painting. These two paintings are very different and that cezanne has a metaphor but Johns isn't, his is refusing to be illusionistic, to tell stories.
Frank Stella doesn't use a square canvas, as he has focused out the middle of the piece but the stripes do create a type of illusion as they sort of flicker. These are another change to additional paint.
Lee bontecou used steel on canvas and it's between painting and sculpture as its used from materials to create sculpture but it's on a canvas adging out of canvas as a 3D object, so this is a specific object in space.
Clara Oldenburg is usually associated with pop art and he produced small yellow pie, which is paint and plaster over a wire frame to make an object, what do you make of that, it's weird and different and isn't counted by many people as a painting, even though it uses paint. He also made a huge light switch called soft switches which is a vinyl filled with Dacron on wire frame on canvas.
Judd created a lacquer on galvenized iron which it looks like metal boxes lined up one above the other against the wall and it's not free standing so you could say it is not fully a sculpture.
After Donald judd the definition of painting and sculptures should of gone out of the window but because the art history is conservative they haven't changed and art did not know how to define these objects so they sorted then into categories but they are just objects.
