Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is the first book on the paintings of Anne Truitt (1921-2004). Best known for her sculptures-wood columns painted in multiple layers of vibrant acrylic-Truitt also spent more than two decades producing innovative large-format paintings on canvas. Featured here are 16 abstract works made between 1972 and 1993, all generously illustrated, including numerous full-page detail photographs.
In an essay Michael Schreyach provides an incisive formal analysis of the works' compositional elements, particularly the tension between two- and three-dimensionality that characterizes not only Truitt's paintings but also her sculptures. It was through these pictorial and material qualities that she manifested the metaphysical meaning of her art-or, as she described it, "the sharp delight of watching what has been inside one's own most intimate self materialize into visibility."
