Au fil des jours, le Journal d'une artiste

Daybook: The Journal of an Artist is the first of four journals written by the artist Anne Truitt (1921 - 2004), a major figure in 20th-century American art.

For more than forty years, her bold use of geometry and color gave new direction to modern sculpture. Truitt used form and color as metaphors for thought, developing a visual grammar that remains unique in the history of art.

Her defining work continues to be influential and fascinates many young artists today in the United States, while still being largely unknown in Europe.

Her journal is a captivating account, written day by day, of this woman, mother, teacher, and artist who shares with honesty, sincerity, and depth her reflections on life and her role as an artist. It allows readers to enter her studio and be close to her concerns and aspirations. It is a book that intensely reveals her process and her personality.
