Description

Ruth Asawa Through Line is a groundbreaking examination of the artist's use of drawing in her multifaceted practice. This comprehensive overview features essays that explore Asawa's aesthetic maneuvers, her contributions to public education, and the influence of Josef Albers's pedagogy on her work. The book includes reproductions of over 100 previously unpublished works, organized into eight thematic sections that reflect an art-making practice that was more circular than linear. Tracing Asawa's artistic journey from her first formal art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp to her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this volume sheds new light on the significance of drawing in Asawa's oeuvre. Distributed for the Menil Collection and the Whitney Museum of American Art, Ruth Asawa Through Line is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the artist's unique approach to sculpture and education.
