In his work from the 1960s and 1970s, he used simplified means, typically monochrome canvases either alone or in series or triptychs, to achieve what he considered to be highly emotional and subjective representations; more recently he has begun painting works consisting of swirling and entangling lines in two or more colors, as in the "Cold Mountain" series.

ARTEZINE No. 14: Brice Marden MoMA Retrospective (750 words)
Marden's work the viewer is a silent witness to the tensions between the extravagances and excesses of the Abstract Expressionism movement and its aftermath, Minimalist art, with its purified simplicity and its ascetic's forms, devoid of personality and mark-making.
Marden is always aware of the times in which he is living and of the influences that are worth undertaking and making of its own.
For this reason Brice Marden is raising issues that are beyond his body of work presented at MoMA, carrying with him the weight of an epoch, the Sixties, and somehow synthesizing the spirit of that age of disbelief and iconoclastic accounts and another one, the eighties, of newly gained joviality for the act of painting.
