Anne Truitt 1967
Minami Gallery
Tanpei Building 3, 3-chome Nihonbashi-tori
Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Japan

 

Truitt’s second one-person exhibition at Minami Gallery in Tokyo. The show is comprised of more than twenty works, including three sumi ink wash drawings, six new allover abstractions with vertical bands of contrasting acrylic applied via roller, and twelve works depicting stacked or adjacent rectilinear forms that abut the edge of the paper’s white ground on at least one side. For these latter works, Liquitex acrylic has been applied to masked areas for a hard-edged effect. All are mounted on thin wood supports in the Japanese style, which lend the drawings a physicality echoing that of a stretched canvas. Indeed, the gallery press release refers to them as a “collection of paintings which the artist calls drawings.”
