Happy Fall!
Audio recordings were made in addition to video when we were in production of our film, Agnes Martin Before the Grid. Now, we are going back into the archives and creating short clips of additional stories of Agnes' life. You'll find these clips on our website page, Taos Tales. Here is the first in the series. Enjoy!

I'm a fan of Agnes Martin's life and work. I always find it fascinating. She is a championship swimmer, teacher, car enthusiast, lesbian, writer, painter. She also suffered debilitating periods of psychosis. As an artist, she was tough, ambitious, and somehow humorous. Knowing her condition, a spectator could read her art as both control and escape. My favorite piece of Agnes Martin is With My Back to the World. I recommend people to watch her interviews, films, biography, and the likes. Agnes Martin is such a delight to get to know through these films. Thank you so much for bringing it to the public! Leave a Reply. |
