I recently came across an interview with the artist Agnes Martin (1912-2004). I now invite you to pause reading and Google her artworks. I love them. They simultaneously stun and soothe. They feel curatorially curative, but only if properly observed and ingested as prescribed.
One of my heroes and favorite artist of ALL time. She was incredible. When I first saw one of her pieces when I was about 16, I immediately was like “YES. This I get!”.
Wow, thank you for introducing me to Agnes! Love her! Loved what she said about music and all art being music. Made me laugh when she said something like, I used to meditate, and then I stopped thinking! So deep.
Also loved this quote I found….Agnes Martin said, "Beauty and perfection are the same. They never occur without happiness."

Ahh I'm so pleased to be privy to this woman! Discovering her at 16, wow. Sigh, wish we could get together and nerd out about her.
Ugh that first quote got me. This woman. Discussing such deep, existential questions and so down to earth at the same time.
Right? Whew.

Great quote. Isn't she a gem? I'm just diving in myself. I wish we could hang out. She seems like my kind of people.
