Prospect: Journal of an Artist

This, the last journal of artist Anne Pruitt, shares her experience with aging, the dilemma of making money in the art world, how to manage your collection, family, and dying. She is an ispiration and explores these tough issues in a tender and determined fashion. As an artist, she reminds me that I am not alone in my process.

Meditative and gorgeous.

This book is the outstanding conclusion to Truitt's trilogy of journals. Her insights are luminous, her prose redolent of each thing she experiences. With her heart, our hearts leap and fall, break and rejoice. An amazing achievement, a possession for all time.
