St. Martin's Eye of the Road 1976

Betty Parsons' 1976 "St. Martin's Eye of the Road" is an assemblage sculpture that is made of wood and paint. Parsons was known for her minimalist art and for her work with other abstract expressionists. In this work, Parsons stacks pieces of wood in a column, adding simple shapes and painted details to create a geometric abstract sculpture. This artwork is thought to be part of Parsons' series of sculptures that explore the relationship between nature and human intervention.
