Brice Marden

Brice Marden's work is mostly layered linework, such as in "Cold Mountain Painting," 1989-1991, posted below.

Marden's work involves subtle layers, with a muted white layer behind the top black one. The muted nature of the white lines helps to create depth, as they appear to be in the distance. As for the linework itself, it seems to be very uniform in thickness, with darker areas only resulting from multiple lines intersecting.

Marden's work reminds me of Jackson Pollock, who I posted about earlier, as they are both abstract artists whose work mostly deals with layers and lines. Like with Pollock, I understand that Marden must have a process behind all of his works, it just is not evident to me as a viewer. As an artist, I do not feel that there is very much that I can get from Marden's work, as it is very different from any work that I myself may do.
