“So supressed or subtle were the traces of Martin’s hand,” art historian Anna C. Chave observed in a 1992 essay, “that there was…a sense of encountering a blank canvas, a blank page—or one just lightly, evenly ruled off, where images, numbers, writing, calendar notations, or musical notes have yet to appear.” If the blank page is a metaphor, it’s also a familiar, mundane object.
