Donald Judd Woodblock Prints
Donald Judd (1928-1994) was a minimalist sculptor that we admire here at Minimalissimo. Whilst he is perhaps best known for his strictly geometrical sculptures and installations, he also worked as a printmaker, a side of his career which seems to be lesser-known.
Working mainly with woodblock prints, these works share the same keen eye for composition, form and color as his sculptural works, except that they are, of course, reduced to 2D.
I think the relationship between these works and his three-dimensional works is interesting. Side by side they seem like sketches or mockups for his sculpture, but on their own they can definitely be appreciated as fully formed, beautiful graphics.

I didn’t know he was a print maker, so thank you. I can see elements of Judd in these pieces though. I especially like the two black and cream prints.
These are great. :) They inspire me to work more on my printmaking.
