Agnes Martin Before the Grid

Before she died in 2004 at the age of ninety-two Agnes Martin's paintings sold for millions of dollars and were displayed in the world's greatest museums. Very little was known about her life, particularly her life before 1958, the year of her first solo show in New York. A documentary film, by Kathleen Brennan and Jina Brenneman, gives insight into Martin's personality and development of her creative process. (beforethegrid.org)
