AGNES MARTIN

This handsomely designed, concise volume celebrates Agnes Martins pursuit of beauty, happiness and innocence in her nonobjective art created while living in the desert of New Mexico. From her multicolored striped works to compositions of color-washed bands defined by hand-drawn lines, to the deep gray Black Paintings that characterized her work in the late 1980s, Martins treatment of color in each of these phases is examined.
