Columns 1966

Agnes Martin’s 1966 artwork, “Columns,” exemplifies the artist’s minimalist aesthetic. The piece, composed of graphite lines on a canvas, features three vertical columns with rounded tops, creating a subtle sense of rhythm and balance. Martin's signature style of delicate, barely visible lines and subtle color variations evoke a feeling of tranquility and introspection. The artist believed that art should be a conduit for contemplation and a way to connect with the inner self.
