Just want to record some of the nice artworks:)
First one: Etel Adnan
Etel Adnan was born in 1925 and raised in Beirut, Lebanon. Her mother was a Greek from Smyrna, her father, a high ranking Ottoman officer born in Damascus. In Lebanon, she was educated in French schools.
She studied philosophy at the Sorbonne, Paris. In January 1955 she went to the United States to pursue post-graduate studies in philosophy at U.C. Berkeley, and Harvard. From 1958 to 1972, she taught philosophy at Dominican College of San Rafael, California.
Apart from a painter, she is a author and poet!
38 untitled paintings are shown in the Documenta 13:

There is in it logic, a truth, a directness guided by intuition that remains elusive in words. If I want to express the spirit of a place, an emotion, an idea, I paint; if I want to describe or comment on it, I write…"
Abstract art was the eq. of poetic expression. I didn't use the words, but colour and lines

My comment: I feel a sense of tranquility in her abstract paintings. The colours speak and express themselves:) I also can feel the joy of colour
