Agnes Martin: With My Back to the World(2002)

剧情简介

“My paintings are not about what is seen. 　　They are about what is known forever in the mind.” 　　– Agnes Martin 　　“'‘I’m very careful not to have ideas, because they’re inaccurate,’ the artist Agnes Martin says in Mary Lance’s touching documentary about her, but it’s a lie. Ms. Martin was full of ideas, and she dispenses them engagingly in the course of the film… She talks about her early childhood on the plains of Saskatchewan. And by the end of the film, Ms. Lance has gently led you to connect that comment with Ms. Martin’s signature style of work: broad horizontal bands of subtle hues Her remembrances of her years in New York and New Mexico are lovely to hear, as are her bits of philosophy.” 　　– Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times
