Description
"In her
consistent
use
of
grids
Agnes
Martin
participated
in a
tradition
in
twentieth-century
art
stretching
from the
Cubists
and
Mondrian
to her
Minimalist
contemporaries
. The
grid
was a
non-hierarchical
and
non-referential
structure
.
It
asserted
the
flatness
of the
picture
plane
,
echoing
its
framing
limits
while
implying
an
indefinite
structural
extension
of the
picture
beyond
its
limits
. For
Martin
this had
metaphysical
connotations
,
whereas
for the
Minimalists
its
associations
were
essentially
literal
and
pragmatic.

; "
Materialist
ideologies
by
no
means
pervaded
all
of the
art
associated
with
Minimalism
. The
American
painter
Agnes
Martin
,
who
became
identified
with the
movement
when
her
works
were
exhibited
in the
'Systemic
Abstraction'
show
at
New
York's
Guggenheim
Museum
in
1966
,
sought
spiritual
absolutes
. An
enormously
self-reliant
artist
, from a
Presbyterian
background
, she
produced
taut
but
tremulous
graphite
lattices
on
lightly
painted
fields
. These were
intended
to
evoke
luminescence
or
immateriality
and
lighten
the
'weight'
of the
squares
that
enclosed
them.
