Beauty is pervasive. Inspiration is pervasive. We say this rose is beautiful and when this rose is destroyed, then we have lost something. So that beauty has been lost. When the rose is destroyed we grieve, but really beauty is unattached and a clear mind sees it. The rose represents nature but it isn’t the rose. Beauty is unattached; it’s inspiration.
—Agnes Martin, from The Untroubled Mind, 1972
