Agnes Martin




"My paintings are not about what is seen.
They are about what is known
forever in the mind."



"We must surrender the idea that this perfection that we see in the mind or before our eyes is obtainable or attainable."




"For those who are visual minded I will say:
there seems to be a fine ship at anchor.
Fear is the anchor, convention
is the chain,
ghosts stalk the decks,
the sails are filled with Pride
and the ship does not move."



"To progress in life you must give up the things you
do not like.
Give up doing the things that you do not like to do.
You must find the things that you do like.
The things that are acceptable to your mind."
