| | | Anne Truitt: ThresholdText by by Anne M. Wagner, Anne Truitt.
 Threshold is an in-depth look at a pivotal decade in the career of Anne Truitt (1921–2004): the 1970s. An authoritative essay by acclaimed art historian Anne M. Wagner delivers new insights into the artist and her work, while extensive excerpts from the artist’s writings--including some previously unpublished--open a new window on Truitt’s creative process and its preoccupation with perceptual experiences that hover along an invisible edge--a threshold, as Truitt often called it, or "the point at which the abstract nature of events becomes perceptible." In the 1970s this idea was an ongoing preoccupation, which she repeatedly attempted to define. The plates section includes generous illustrations of works from the period, including drawings, paintings and the sculptures for which she has been heralded as a key figure in postwar American art.
"Second Requiem" (1977/1980) is reproduced from 'Anne Truitt: Threshold.' |

| | FROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/23/2014 In Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb on Street Photography and the Poetic Image, Rebecca Norris Webb writes, "The photographer and writer Wright Morris once wrote, 'I do not give up the camera eye when writing––merely the camera.' Originally a poet and now a photographer, I would say the reverse is also true: 'I do not give up the poetic eye with photographing––merely the pen.' To see the close relationship between these two sister arts, one only has to look at the root of the word 'photography,' which literally means 'writing with light.' Both photography and poetry share a preoccupation with light and time and the elusive moment, so fleeting that one of the few ways to try to grasp it is to hold a book of poetry or photography in one’s hands." Havana (2007) is reproduced from this new volume in the Aperture Photography Workshop Series. continue to blogFROM THE ARTBOOK BLOG CORY REYNOLDS | DATE 5/23/2014 In Matthew Marks' beautiful new monograph on the 70s work of sculptor and painter Anne Truitt (1921–2004), the artist is quoted from a 1978 lecture: "In the last analysis the artist's work is underwritten by character. By character which has been formed in a lifelong process of growing self-knowledge, informed by widening experience. One of the exciting aspects of being an artist is precisely this kind of development. The artist takes risks and makes mistakes and then lives with the results, learns from them and moves on. If the artist is thoughtful and maintains a sturdy independence, if he or she makes an honest attempt continually to refine values in the light of experience, it is possible to live in the world productively without in any way compromising the integrity which underwrites all art." This detail of the sculpture "Prescience," from the same year, is reproduced from Anne Truitt: Threshold. continue to blog | |  | Matthew Marks GalleryISBN: 9781880146927
