In the course of wandering the museum until I could decently leave
I confronted a Cézanne
and felt as if a muscular hand had taken mine
and Cézanne stood beside me
grubby with clotted paint
silent in his own life
impelled by its force to record it.

– Anne Truitt, sculptor (1921–2004)

#AnneTruitt: I am working steadily, today mixed deeper and deeper #purples for a columnar sculpture, adding color in small dollops that alter them as little as possible while allowing them just visible differences. This is the sort of pursuit in #art that I like best, the pursuit of the just-visible, of some #mystery that seems to me to lie at the thresholds of #perception . --from Prospect
