Marden was a leading minimal abstractionist visual artist, working in a complex painterly yet linear mode, creating monochromatic works of art. He investigated the subtle harmonies and optical effects obtained by juxtaposing broad areas of similar hues with different values of light and dark. In the late 1980s, he effected an abrupt change, incorporating Chinese cultural and artistic influences: calligraphy, taoism, scholars' rocks, and poetry.
