A visitor commented about this painting, "It has the feel of the Southwest." This was very astute, since Pat Steir's mountain paintings of the early 1970s were inspired by her visits to Agnes Martin in New Mexico. Both women are painters and poets, and both have studied nature and art long enough to abstract their common essence. Looking for the Mountain is a metaphor that works on many levels—linguistic, aesthetic, and philosophical.
