Over the course of a career that spanned fifty years, Agnes Martin's austere, serene work anticipated and helped to define Minimalism, even as she battled psychological crises and carved out a solitary existence in the American Southwest. Martin identified with the Abstract Expressionists but her commitment to linear geometry caused her to be associated in turn with Minimalist, feminist, and even outsider artists. She moved through some of the liveliest art communities of her time while maintaining a legendary reserve. "I paint with my back to the world," she says both at the beginning and at the conclusion of a documentary filmed when she was in her late eighties. When she died at ninety-two, in Taos, New Mexico, it is said she had not read a newspaper in half a century.

Agnes Martin, the recipient of two career retrospectives as well as the National Medal of the Arts, was championed by critics as diverse in their approaches as Lucy Lippard, Lawrence Alloway, and Rosalind Krauss. The whole engrossing story, now available in paperback, Agnes Martin is essential reading for anyone interested in abstract art or the history of women artists in America.

Format: Board book
My daughter and I enjoy reading this. She matches the pictures on the pages with those on the buttons. Lots of words she already knows and a good mix of new words. Durable hardback pages.

Who doesn't like Eric Carle books?
Format: Board book
Always been a fan of Eric Carle books. My 10 month old likes the sounds and pictures. He has other similar books, but we like him to see a variety of illustrations. With the pandemic going on, my he is missing out on a lot. One day we will go to the zoo and see real animals, but for now these books will have to do.
