[@paulperrini9902]

The conciousness of the average person is dominated by memory and the thought process. When the mind is still, something is seen which is beyond what we can know.

Stillness. Silence. Naked Awareness.

[@kittyblack1538]

I think we become to used to definitive ideas visually that we can turn our brains off to the more subtle concepts. Agnes Martin's works makes me consider what actually comes up in my mind and body when I look at it. Why the colours, why the lines, but like everything else its existence is completely valid because it simply is. And how do i feel about that?

Musik entspricht dieser Kunst nicht. Stille ist Stille...

💖Agnes Martin Thank you

[@christopherevans4743]

Thank you for just letting the art speak for itself in the way it was intended.

[@scottlondon8382]

Interesting concept

[@douglasbronzie1324]

The artist is in a meditative process while creating these...I think? Very Spritual!

[@NightLetterLondon]

rather an odd way to 'show' the work. and an odd choice (sinister) of music. is it a horror film trailer..?

[@BrianJosephMorgan]

Beautiful.

[@vitralesencostarica4228]

[@nelsonx5326]

Boring art.

[@1hayes1]

It's really not. If you see it in person, it's strangely thrilling.

[@fredcoyote9477]

You missed out.
