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.

My arrangements I’ve found are essentially the simplest I can arrive at, given a material and a place... The one thing I learned in my work is that to make the work I wanted you couldn’t impose properties on the materials. You have to reveal the properties of the material.
