I recently had a violent emotional reaction to this painting in a gallery:
It was during a depressive episode and I remember seeing it and having some kind of reaction to the pristine flatness of the world depicted there. A sort of stepping back from the world. I don't know if it made me feel more or less depressed afterwards but it felt important.

I don't understand sculpture or photography. Have never felt anything with that. I don't understand how someone likes Donald Judd.

But you fux with Rodin, Henry Moore, Michelangelo, Donatello, Bernini etc. right?
I like some modern abstract sculpture – and by modern I mean the ancient Barbara Hepworth lol

Those are nice and I actually did just admit I liked Louise Bourgeoise. Bernini and those I appreciate mostly as adornment of the city.

I don't know what the difference is between Mondrian and Donald Judd but I like one and feel empty at another

I find statues (of people/animals/beings) magical.
When I was a kid I found them sinister sometimes, that haunting thought that they might come alive (with their empty eyes). And although I don't have that feeling anymore I still feel like something miraculous has happened, that the artist has created a real being of some sort.
Plus of course with certain sculptors there's that miraculous recreation of skin and veins and bones in marble.

I went to a gallery that had a James Turrell installation the other day and you had to wait in line for an hour in order to see it for ten minutes. Looked ridiculous all these people sitting there waiting.

donald judd might of made sense to people in the 60s or whatever and especially in the US i think there's a lot of older people that love him still, his shit is still everywhere, every modern gallery, he's like rothko, ubiquitous, walk into a room and there's a load of plastic boxes on the floor. i've tried starting at his things but there's nothing to relate to. it's so blank its hard to get anything out of. possibly one day it will click.

i think the concept of value is fucked across the board
