06 | artist profile: Anne Truitt
Anne Truitt (1921-2004) was a seminal minimalist sculptor and painter who immerged in the 1950’s and 60’s. She was a prolific writer - publishing four journals that chronicled her life and studio practice. Her insights on the “tight rope walk” between a creative discipline and family life were honest and inspiring. Her descriptions of process, doubt, teaching, books, traveling and studio practice was a breath of fresh air. She is most well known for the monumental sculpture but the paintings and drawings are equally gorgeous and compelling.
There are several books that have been published about her sculptures, paintings and drawings listed on her website.
In addition, here is a link to an article in the New Yorker about her books.
