Still’s selection of the severe formality of the square has roots in
an art that developed contemporarily with the art of Arp. This geometry
emerges form Cubism in the paintings of Juan Gris, Piet Mondrian, and
Kasimir Malevich, often infused with a Neo-Platonic idealism and the
idea of the avant-garde, a sense of geometry that appears again in the
work of Judd in sculpture and Ad Reinhardt in painting with a subtle,
and sometimes not so subtle, messianic ideals. K. Volkmar
