A quote by Agnes Martin

"Art work has only a tinkering of what it attempts to represent to the artist and to responsive observers. It is not beneficial, nothing is gained from it, and it does not tell the truth. It is enjoyed or not according to the condition of the observed. A very small gesture of exultation."

-Agnes Martin, Writings.
