official description

Anne Truitt Working is a portrait of the Minimalist painter and sculptor, who is receiving long-overdue recognition for her critical contribution to the American avant-garde painting scene of the 1960’s. Elegantly observed by Jem Cohen, Truitt is utterly charming as she shares her theories on colour and her philosophy about making art.
