Anne Truitt Libri
Anne Truitt è stata un'artista visiva il cui lavoro ha indagato le relazioni tra i colori e le qualità lineari semplici. I critici l'hanno spesso associata al Minimalismo e agli artisti del Washington Color Field, sebbene lei rifiutasse le classificazioni riduttive. Oltre alla sua scultura e pittura, Truitt è stata anche una nota autrice di memorie e un'insegnante. I suoi pezzi sono apprezzati per la loro semplicità e la profonda esplorazione delle connessioni visive.

BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY: FILM, TELEVISION, MUSIC, THEATRE. Renowned American artist Anne Truitt kept this illuminating and inspiring journal over a period of seven years, determined to come to terms with the forces that shaped her art and life. Within its beautifully written pages, you will come to know a woman whose range of sensitivity-moral, intellectual, sensual, emotional, and spiritual-is remarkably broad. She recalls her childhood on the eastern shore of Maryland, her career change from psychology to art, and her path to making sculptures so finely painted that they would "set colour free in three dimensions." She reflects on the generous advice of other artists, watches her own daughter's journey into motherhood, meditates on criticism and solitude, and struggles to express her vision.
