Isbn: 9780684818351 - prospect: the journal of an artist (13 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. In her widely acclaimed earlier memoirs, Daybook and Turn, Anne Truitt charted her life as an artist, mother and teacher. In Prospect, Truitt looks at the far end of her life's arc and feels the urgent need to reevaluate what she has done. A major retrospective of her sculpture in a New York gallery offers a daunting but exhilarating chance for the work to be considered anew. Meanwhile, a forced retirement from her teaching position leads her to examine her own vulnerability. In lambent and affecting prose, Truitt muses on the mingling of art and life, celebrates the love of family, and envisions the possibilities that the future yet holds.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st. 221 pages; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar cover. A fine copy of the first printing. *** "Based on journals written in 1991 and 1992, Prospect contains Anne Truitt's luminous reflections on her rich, full life as an artist, mother, grandmother, and teacher. Preparing to confront the unpredictable twilight of life, Truitt charts her fears and triumphs, joys and sadness, her most poignant memories of the past and clearest visions for the future. In the year of her seventieth birthday, events converge that force Truitt to reevaluate her life. She requests of and receives from her New York gallery a major retrospective of her thirty years of painting and sculpture, thus throwing her work into the public eye. Simultaneously, she is forcibly retired from the tenured position at the University of Maryland, which had granted her professional and financial security. In her introduction Truitt notes, "writing became in the course of the year a relentless exposure of myself to myself." Keenly observant, she faces her own vulnerability and draws knowledge and insight from sources as varied as Cicero, the Antarctic explorers, and her own travels in the Canadian wilderness. Preparing for the New York retrospective and successive exhibits, Truitt remembers her inspirations, reflects on the development of her artistic methods and goals, and, above all, considers the meaning of both art and an artist's life. At the same time, she records the delights and tragedies that accompany a family's growth. For Truitt, art and life are inexorably joined, and her narrative sings with the colors and surfaces of her celebrated sculpture." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. Collectible.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Anne Truitt is interesting both for her art and her writing about making art. This book is a lovely first edition, first printing hardcover in jacket. Truitt has inscribed the book to previous owner in her small neat handwriting. She signs to William Warner with admiration and best wishes. Truitt was born in Baltimore and lived in DC. It is possible that the William Warner mentioned was author of pulitzer prize winning book about crabs and waterman in the Chesapeake. Books signed by Truitt (who died in 2004) are uncommon. Tiny bit of shelf wear and a couple of small spots to top edge. Otherwise appears urnead. #topg. Inscribed by Author(s).…
