A lot of good things don't get made because of too much thinking.

Agnes Martin

Artist Agnes Martin is often associated with the minimalism movement, having painted many a sparse landscape inspired by her native Saskatchewan and the New Mexico desert. Her signature work is largely abstract, focused on muted colors and geometric shapes, and reflects her grounded approach to painting, which she has described as “going into a field of vision as you would cross an empty beach to look at the ocean.” With the quote above, Martin urges us to let our ideas drive us forward, and not to let overthinking hold us back.
