The final volume of Anne Truitt's trilogy reflects on life, art, and the challenges and blessings of old age. In Prospect, Truitt looks at the far end of her life's arc and feels the urgent need to reevaluate her talents as a sculptor. Meanwhile, a forced retirement from her teaching position leads her to examine her own vulnerability.
This, the last journal of artist Anne Pruitt, shares her experience with aging, the dilemma of making money in the art world, how to manage your collection, family, and dying. She is an ispiration and explores these tough issues in a tender and determined fashion. As an artist, she reminds me that I am not alone in my process.
Meditative and gorgeous.
