The color of Grove Group, I was inspired by a stand of olive trees Marden saw in Greece. Working in a sensuous mix of oil paint and wax, he created an opaque and dense surface of substance and mass. At the same time, the painting seems weightless and luminescent—as if in building up the surface Marden trapped light within its layers. This painting is part of a series of five monochrome panels in related colors. While the modular, methodical design recalls strategies of Minimalism, Marden considers this painting to be "highly emotional." Item #21042
