"I don't think geometric art is... I don't like to call it that. I don't think it's any more pure than pop art or anything else. It doesn't have anything to do with purity"

About this Quote

In this quote, artist Donald Judd is revealing his opinion on the label of "geometric art." He mentions that he does not like to refer to it as such due to the fact that he thinks it is not any more pure than other kinds of art, such as pop art. Judd is suggesting that the classification of art into various designs or movements does not identify its level of purity or worth. He believes that all kinds of art are equivalent and should not be evaluated based upon their label. Judd's declaration challenges the idea of hierarchy in the art world and motivates a more unbiased approach to appreciating various types of art.
