Nice try... 
That is an Agnes Martin painting:
Quote:
Agnes Martin (1912-2004) "Loving Love"
signed, titled and dated 'a. martin 2000 Loving Love' (on the reverse and on the stretcher)
acrylic and graphite on canvas
60½ x 60¼ in. (153.7 x 153 cm.)
Painted in 2000.
"The only triumph in life is the triumph of life itself. Our awareness of it we feel as happiness. Art work represents this happiness. It does not represent life because life is infinite, dimensionless. It is consciousness itself. And that cannot be represented. But our positive response to life can be, has been, and is represented in art work" (A. Martin, quoted in "What We Do Not See If We Do Not See," Writings/Schriften, H. von Dieter Schwarz, New York, 1992, p. 114).
