'My formats are square, but the [imagery] is never absolutely square... making a sort of contradiction, a dissonance, though I
didn't set out to do it that way. When I cover the square surface with rectangles, it lightens the weight of the square, destroys its
power’
(A. Martin, quoted in Dieter Schwarz (ed.), Agnes Martin Writings, Winterthur, 1992, p. 29).
