Anne Truitt: Drawings

Anne Truitt: Drawings showcases a selection of works on paper by the American artist Anne Truitt (1921–2004), known primarily for her

influential contributions to post-minimalist sculpture. While Truitt’s sculptures often dominate discussions of her work, this book focuses on her drawings — a rich and expressive aspect of her artistic practice that reveals her thinking about form, line, space, and perception. Featuring approximately 51 images reproduced in full color, the book spans several decades of Truitt’s career, offering insight into how her drawings relate to and inform her sculptural work. The visual presentation is complemented by an essay by Brenda Richardson, which contextualizes Truitt’s graphic work, explores its evolution, and highlights its aesthetic significance within the broader landscape of 20th-century American art. Overall, Anne Truitt: Drawings is both a valuable resource for understanding a lesser-known dimension of Truitt’s practice and a visually engaging record of her artistic inquiry into abstraction and perception.
