Early life

Nancy Haynes was born in 1947, in Waterbury, Connecticut.[1][2]

Paintings

[edit]

Haynes is a conceptual artist.[3] Her art-historical influences cite Marcel Duchamp, Mondrian, Dan Flavin, On Kawara and Ad Reinhardt, but as Marjorie Welish noted in her essay, “Nancy Haynes, A Literature of Silence”, Haynes’ also has influences from literature.[citation needed]

In Haynes’ recent paintings, the canvases began to “evolve from a paler shade of a given pigment to a darker one, creating a horizontal movement that pulls the eye toward an unseen source of light.”[4]

More notable works include her autobiographical color charts series (2005–2013), which employ swatches of color contained within grids, meant to give an autobiography of the artist.
