Nancy Princenthal joins me to discuss creativity and meditation in the life of Agnes Martin, the subject of her 2015 book, "Agnes Martin : Her Life and Art". We mull over the mystique of Agnes Martin and her reputation as a 'sage of teh desert' becaues of her reclusive lifestyle and and serene canvass. We also discuss Nancy's writing process and where ideas come from. The episode starts with a rifff of "On the Sunny Side of the Street" playedin 1949 by Olive Mason, the first lady of swing.
