Anne Truitt Livres
Anne Truitt était une artiste visuelle dont l'œuvre explorait les relations de couleur et les qualités linéaires simples. Les critiques l'ont souvent associée au minimalisme et aux artistes du Washington Color Field, bien qu'elle ait résisté aux classifications réductrices. Outre sa sculpture et sa peinture, Truitt était également une auteure reconnue de mémoires et une enseignante. Ses pièces sont appréciées pour leur simplicité et leur profonde exploration des connexions visuelles.

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.
