- Anne Truitt, American artist born in 1921 in Baltimore and passed in 2004, known for her quiet minimalist sculptures filled with personal memory.

- She worked with themes like memory, time, place, and human presence, making sculptures that stand like calm figures or sentinels in a room.
- Famous pieces include A Wall for Apricots, Knight’s Heritage, Morning Choice, and many hand‑painted column works built from wood, gesso and dozens of color layers.
- She also made drawings, journals, and books like Daybook, Turn, Prospect and Yield, showing how her art grew from her life, thoughts and long reflections.
