"Art is responded to with emotion … and the best art is
music - that’s the highest form of art. It’s completely abstract, and we
make about eight times as much response to music than any of the other
arts."
Agnes Martin (1912 - 2004) Abstract painter and minimalist
She is also known to have said:
"There are so many people who don’t know what they want ... and I think
that, in this world, that’s the only thing you have to know — exactly
what you want … Doing what you were born to do, that’s the way to be
happy."
