| 520 | |a "The practice of drawing is a unifying thread in the art of Ruth Asawa (1926-2013). Known as a sculptor, which she described as 'almost like drawing in space,' Asawa drew daily and likened it to playing scales for musicians. Ruth Asawa Through Line reveals her wonderfully varied output from the late 1940s to the 1990s. The art of drawing was Ruth Asawa's way to see and understand the world"--Page 4 of cover. | ||
| 520 | |a "Ruth Asawa (1926-2013), widely known for her looped-wire sculptures, was an inveterate drawer. She filled sketchbook after sketchbook and even stated that drawing was central to her sculpture. This volume is the first to consider the significance of drawing in Asawa's oeuvre throughout her career, featuring essays that examine the range of Asawa's aesthetic maneuvers across materials and techniques; how Asawa's drawing intertwined with the Bay Area arts community and her contributions to public education as a teacher and organizer; and the influence of Josef Albers's pedagogy and Asawa's lifelong adoption of his type of paper folding. Tracing Asawa's artistic journey from her first formal art lessons in a Japanese American internment camp during World War II through her time at Black Mountain College and beyond, this comprehensive overview of the artist's drawings includes reproductions of more than one hundred works--many of which have never been published--organized into eight thematic sections that cut through time, reflecting an art-making practice that was more circular or cyclical than linear." -- |c Publisher's description. | ||
