Robert Morris (1931 - )

Robert Morris, Untitled (L-Beams), 1965
When I sliced into the plywood with my Skilsaw, I could hear, beneath  the ear-damaging whine, a stark and refreshing "no" reverberate off the four walls: no to transcendence and spiritual values, heroic scale, anguished decisions, historicizing narrative, valuable artifact, intelligent structure, interesting visual experience.

Robert Morris in Foster, Hal et al (2004) “1965: Donald Judd publishes ‘Specific Objects’...”, in Art Since 1900, London: Thames and Hudson, p492
