1. No idea, but doesn’t the doodle usually spell the word Google? I can’t see it in your screen shot.

   1. The colors rightly represent each of the letters in “Google,” and since this is ‘s celebrating a minimalist painter, perhaps that’s why the letters show as bars.

2. I guessed correctly before checking – Agnes Martin, wonderful painter!

3. a tribute to agnes Martin, minimalist painter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_NHP9CskWQ

4. I had no idea either. I thought it was the person who created the iconic blanket for The Hudson’s Bay Company.

   1. Lol. I thought it looked like some weird litmus test.

      1. Me, too

      2. I thought is was a paint test – you know, put a few stripes of paint on a board and leave it out in the sun for a few years. [I’m not against modern art; I think Rothko is wonderful. But when I checked out Google images for her work, my reaction was “boring”. Maybe they are better if you see them in person.]

5. Ignorance # 2 [Contentedly]

6. I had never heard of her either. And “minimalist” is an understatement IMHO of the piece shown.

7. much of Martin’s minimalist work seems a variation on a Tholian Web

8. I clicked. I know more now.

9. Agnes Martin 102nd Birthday Google Doodle

10. I guessed Agnes Martin too though this is somewhat atypical of her paintings. Thanks google and Jerry.

11. I have been trying to get the google doodle back for hours, thinking something was wrong with my home page. My daughter had to tell me that this was indeed today’s google doodle- actually I am not impressed.

12. What Google has cleverly done is adopt Agnes Martin style with Google colors.

    I doubt she would ever have produced a painting like the one in the doodle, it’s too colorful.

    The Chicago Art Institute owns her work, I am sure.
