WHAT OTHERS SAY
“Donald Martiny’s work forces us to question the established definitions which form the backbone of our understanding of painting as both a pursuit and a product, and of paint as a medium. In challenging the viewer in these ways, it is not only visually exciting but intellectually invigorating.”
“Martiny joins a rich tradition of artists designing for the Paul Taylor Dance Company, extending the legacy forged by Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Ellsworth Kelly, and Alex Katz. ”
