Description
Agnes Martin's Night Sea (1963) is a large canvas of hand-drawn rectangular grids painted in luminous blue and gold. This illustrated study presents the painting as a work by an artist who was also a thinker, poet, and writer, whose self-presentation played a crucial role in making her works public. In this book, Suzanne Hudson examines Night Sea within Martin's long and prolific career, which spanned many years of experimentation with color and line. The artist destroyed many works as she sought perfection, but Night Sea stands out for its unique blend of control and loss. Hudson draws on archival records to shed light on the work, including critical responses from peers and interviews with friends and estates. The book offers a nuanced understanding of Martin's process-based works, including Night Sea, which marked a turning point in her career as she transitioned to acrylics and sought to express emotions of lightness and purity.
