Art21 proudly presents an artist segment, featuring Robert Mangold, from the "Balance" episode in Season 6 of the "Art in the Twenty-First Century" series.

"Balance" premiered in May 2012 on PBS.

Artist Robert Mangold, from his country studio in upstate New York, translates the most basic of formal elements—shape, line, and color—into paintings, prints, and drawings whose simplicity of form expresses complex ideas.
