    Anne Truitt, born Anne Dean in 1921, was an American minimalist painter and sculptor. Truitt was a major name in the art world for over four decades, and she is most well known for her use of color in her minimalist art. 

    In 1943, Truitt graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in psychology. This led to her gaining a position as an assistant in the psychiatric ward of a hospital during World War II. During this time she would write many poems and short stories, which remain a significant part of her body of work today. 

    6 years later Truitt completed one year of sculpture study at the Institute of Contemporary art in Washington, DC. This formal training inspired the artist to experiment with different materials and methods of sculpting, including cast cement and steel welding. 

    In 1961 Truitt finally discovered the method and style that would establish her reputation as a major player in the American art world. She began to layer many soft colors onto prefabricated wooden structures, complete with imperfections and variations. Her intention with these pieces was to highlight the relationship between color and shape, which she did with aplomb. 

    Her first solo show, held at the André Emerich Gallery in New York, came later on in her life in 1963. This was the beginning of a relationship where the André Emerich Gallery would represent Anne Truitt for the next 30 years. 

    This exhibition kickstarted her art career and she went on to have many solo museum exhibitions across the United States of America, where much of her work remains to this day. 

    As well as her contributions to minimalist art, Truitt also wrote extensively throughout her life. Her most well-known publications are a trio of books borne from journal entries throughout her life. The result is a striking account of her life as an artist. 

    Anne Truitt died in 2004.
