Summary:
Exploring the evolution of Agnes Martin's sublime use of color, this volume celebrates Agnes Martin's pursuit of beauty, happiness and innocence in her nonobjective art created while living in the desert of New Mexico. From her multicolored striped works to compositions of color-washed bands defined by hand-drawn lines, to the deep gray Black Paintings that characterized her work in the late 1980s, Martin's treatment of color in each of these phases is examined. A particular emphasis is placed on the latter half of her career and the broadening vision that developed during her years working in the desert, which crystalized her quest to deepen her understanding of the essence of painting, unattached to emotion or subject, yet radiant and meditative in its pure abstraction.

Summary:
The work of Dutch artist Bart Lodewijks takes him out of the studio and into the city, its streets and neighbourhoods. His enigmatic yet beautiful repetitions of straight chalk lines, drawn using a spirit level on walls, buildings, stairways, and sidewalks, are a fleeting testament to the challenges and interactions the artist experiences during his working process. In 2010 and 2013, Lodewijks spent some months in Rio de Janeiro, searching for suitable locations for his drawings. Local residents led him to places that were scenes of everyday life, mundane yet with a special character. Much of the time he frequented a small favela, about which he has written a story relating the life he discovered there.

Summary:
Une redécouverte du sculpteur Brancusi à travers sa recherche ascensionnelle de l'infini observée par la combinaison de son oeuvre plastique et les lois du hasard de la photographie. Une oeuvre photographique de tout premier plan dans l'histoire de la création au XXe siècle.Ses photographies semblent avoir joué un rôle essentiel dans ses recherches plastiques. Le sculpteur Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957) a beaucoup photographié son oeuvre. Cette constatation amène l'auteur à proposer une vision renouvelée de l'oeuvre sculpté de l'artiste, mais aussi à reconnaître en lui un novateur en photographie. D'abord cantonnées dans le rôle de simples représentations de ses oeuvres, destinées à informer des amateurs lointains, les photographies prises par Brancusi assument peu à peu une fonction plus active : saisir au vol des assemblages passagers de socles et de sculptures, des rencontres éphémères entre telle et telle des figures qui peuplent ce théâtre qu'est aussi l'atelier, dont le sculpteur est le metteur en scène.
