“When I think of art, I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life.” - Agnes Martin 💙🤍
Martin evokes joy, beauty, and perfection with her grid paintings, geometric abstractions, and muted color palette. In the late 1950s, she began producing square compositions based on grids using subdued colors, loosely ruled graphite lines, and painted bands. Her intricate compositions reward the viewer who slows down and looks closely.
📍 Savor Martin’s grid paintings in our Agnes Martin room on Floor 4, like our friends __krebs, carolkgtam, cassidioconnor, i.dont.carrie, and hongsuklee_hong.
