In this playful image, mail artist Ray Johnson wittily presents abstract painters Ad Reinhardt (1913-1967) and Agnes Martin (1912-2004) as a pair of fried eggs. Johnson creates a pun on each artist's name to emphasize their rhyming qualities, changing "Reinhardt" to "Reinheart," and "Martin" to "Heartin."
