WHOOHEE! both of those pieces take my breath away… and your connection between them in words articulates my heart’s infinity response to horizontal line… thank you!
Wonderful comparison of the works of two artists I admire.
We just exhibited these Agnes Martin prints in a printmaking survey at our college gallery, http://www.theIDEAspace.com. (Women’s Work) I totally see the connection! As an encaustic artist who also uses lines in my work, I doubly appreciate this. Love your work Joanne, and your blog!
Oh definitely Agnes Martin, for sure – a continual inspiration to me always!
