Ruth Asawa: through line

Uittreksel

"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."-- On back of cover.
