In The Place Where I Was A Child, There Were No Artists And There Was No Art, So I Really Didn't Know What That Meant. I Think I Thought It Meant That I Would Be In A Situation Different Than The One That I Was In.

Donald Judd Spoke Of A 'neutral' Surface, But What Is Meant? Neutrality Must Involve Some Relationship (to Other Ways Of Painting, Thinking?)

He Also Used 'non' Or 'not' - Expressive - This Is An Early Problem - A Negative Solution Or - Expression Of New Sense - Which Can Help One Into - What One Has Not Known. 'neutral' Expresses An Intention.

In My Early Work, I Tried To Hide My Personality, My Psychological State, My Emotions. This Was Partly Due To My Feelings About Myself And Partly Due To My Feelings About Painting At The Time. I Sort Of Stuck To My Guns For A While But Eventually It Seemed Like A Losing Battle. Finally One Must Simply Drop The Reserve.
