Agnes Martin


From 2002 "Art City" episode, "Simplicity":
I knew that I wanted to paint--not what everybody else paints--this world and nature. I knew that I wanted to paint abstract. The most obvious abstract emotion is happiness, so I painted a lot of paintings... about happiness. I paint about happiness, innocence & beauty. The feelings that we have that go beyond this world. That have no worldly cause.

A loving and lovely and honest review of a show that included one of Agnes Martin's last pieces.
