PDF Everything She Touched: Life of Ruth Asawa with FREE PDF EDITION!

Marilyn Chase deftly sets the scene of the Asawa family life as Japanese American truck farmers in California pre-Pearl Harbor. It is a life of hard work, honor and family. The middle child in a family of seven, Ruth is given solitary chores due to her scrappy nature.After the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor, the family is torn apart in two internment camps. Ruth’s life unfolds in a daunting series of what for anyone else would be setbacks, but for Ruth, it becomes the backbone of her art and her life full of serendipity and incredible endurance. (I doubt that Ruth thought she endured anything.) Her dedication to her husband, her family, her art, art education for children, friendship and keeping everyone fed are the themes of her life.A racially mixed marriage, post-World War II anti-Japanese sentiment, advice from Imogen Cunningham to use her own name as an artist, a fierce dedication to her art, her blossoming public persona in the fight for art as part of all children’s educations (endlessly sketching at various board meetings) – it is hard to pick any one facet of Ruth to admire most. What artist could endure a discussion of whether her remarkable wire sculptures were actual sculptures, since they were hung instead of sitting on pedestals?Marilyn Chase found the perfect subject for her meticulous research and produced a book of astonishing power letting Ruth’s life inspire.
