"If you add a slight layer [of lacquer] here, you’ve got something to see into. But that’s a physical thing, it’s not that you’re creating two or three inches of illusionary space alongside…Like putting a little liquid on the table, you don’t change the surface, it’s just a case of one thing over another and it’s the same surface…What you’re looking into is really just the paint—the two or three layers of lacquer, that’s all." -Donald Judd on Chamberlain's lacquer paintings, 1971
