- Summary:
- ""When I think of art I think of beauty. Beauty is the mystery of life," wrote Agnes Martin in 1989. Edited by Milly Glimcher, this book collects writings by the artist centered around the theme of beauty but touching many subjects related to her life and work, from nature and politics to the inspiration found in solitude and silence. Poetic and reflective, these texts range from compact insights to longer meditations, such as "The Current of the River of Life Moves Us" and "The Untroubled Mind." Agnes Martin: On Beauty also includes reproductions of select paintings from the latter years of her life"--Publisher's website.
