Agnes Martin

Overview
"Art is the concrete representation of our most subtle feelings."

Martin's work has been defined as an "essay in discretion on inward-ness and silence". Often thought of as a minimalist, Martin considered herself an abstract expressionist and was one of the leading practitioners of its artistic philosophy in the 20th century. 

 

Known for her tranquil and ordered abstractions, Martin developed an artistic practice that was deeply influenced by Zen Buddhism, American Transcendentalism, and the immensity of the desert landscape in which she lived. Her works were predominantly monochromatic, employing colors like black, white, and brown with tremendous subtlety. Martin's minimalist aesthetic expressed a sense of tranquility and spirituality, with her paintings often carrying positive titles that reflected her philosophy.

 

Martin's work is held in numerous international museums, and has been the subject of more than eighty solo exhibitions since the 1950s.
