Richard Tuttle

 

             Richard Dean Tuttle born 12 July 1941 is an American post minimalist artist known for his small, subtle, intimate works. His art makes use of scale and line. He lives and works between New Mexico and New York. His works span a range of media, from sculpture, painting, drawing, printmaking, and artist’s books to installation and furniture. From the movie that I saw in the class, I think Richard Tuttle created things that hidden from the viewer or may be not clear. I wondered when he was drawing lines they seem unusual, then he was setting down a metal wire on that line, he let the viewers to ponder or to decide what is that, I believe he create something un understandable but he thing that he shows something a life or maybe he want to say there is something behind this scene
