Artists in conversation

Cy Twombly
American · b. 1928

Twombly worked extensively with graphite and charcoal on paper, creating gestural minimalist drawings that share Marden's quiet, contemplative approach to mark making on the page. Both artists treated drawing as a meditative practice emphasizing subtle line and surface.

Robert Ryman
American · b. 1930

Ryman devoted his practice to exploring the most reduced elements of mark and surface, often working in graphite and pencil on paper with a similarly restrained minimalist sensibility that parallels Marden's subtle approach to drawing. Both artists prioritize material presence over representational content.

Agnes Martin
Canadian-American · b. 1912

Martin created highly refined graphite and pencil drawings on paper characterized by quiet repetition and minimalist restraint, qualities that closely echo the subdued tonal sensitivity seen in Marden's charcoal and graphite works. Her meditative mark making shares a deep kinship with Marden's reductive drawing practice.
