An exploration of Martin's intuitive, idiosyncratic approach to beauty, as evinced through her written meditations and reproductions of several key paintings

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 handsomely produced volume collects writings by the artist centered around the theme of beauty, as well as a range of subjects related to her life and work, from the workings of nature and politics to the inspiration to be found in solitude and silence. Poetic and reflective, these texts range from compact insights, as with Underside of the Leaf and Awareness of Perfection, to longer meditations, such as The Current of the River of Life Moves Us and The Untroubled Mind. On Beauty also includes reproductions of paintings such as Blessings (2000) and Tranquillity (2001), among others, while the front and back covers are debossed with reproductions of Affection (2001) and Little Children Playing with Love (2001). By providing a window into the thoughts and feelings that moved her, this title is the perfect companion for anyone who admires Martin's intuitive approach to art.
