Timeline
Ruth Laxson was born in Roanoke, Alabama, the daughter of the Edward Wilts Knight Sr. and Ruby Melinda Dunson Knight. She studied art at Atlanta College of Art (1958–1965) and was based in Atlanta, Georgia from1953. until her death on June 1, 2019.
Laxson had her first museum retrospective in 2013 at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia. Laxson's archive has been acquired by the Rhode Island School of Design. Also Laxson's Hip Young Owl at Atlanta featured more than125 works.
Ruth Laxson said in a 1992 interview that her earliest works were large color woodcuts that contained biomorphic forms and shapes along with traces of the symbols and markings we have always used to communicate. Around the late '70s she became interested in new paper techniques that put her in touch with the artists' book world. Yet, she never made a book with hand-made paper; when she started making books she wanted them to be more idea-oriented. Her first artist book, done in the early 1980s, was Power Poem, a little book about power. It was a simple little book in black and white, done by offset.
When asked in 1992 what was a major theme of her work, Ruth Laxson replied "Communication." "I am intrigued by the looks of systems of communication—the markings for music and physics and mathematics. "I really want to get beyond words. The idea of making words more meaningful by reducing them, distilling them is wonderful but I think that to really get at life we have to get beyond words." "Obviously you can also play with ideas. You can sound-off or be poetic or whatever. It's a good way to be an anarchist if one wishes. It gives me a chance to shape ideas."
During most of her career, Ruth Laxson worked in two studios built in 1970 by her husband, Robert Earle Laxson, that sat side by side in the Brookhaven neighborhood of Atlanta. . "It's the eighth day and God has handed us the chisel," says Laxson, who was born to fundamentalist parents, "Artists were sent here to be agents of creativity. I think art is a responsibility, a bit of an onus, a delightful burden. I work hard as hell. It is hard work. The masses think that the artist is just spending the afternoon dabbling."
Ruth Knight Laxson ( July 16, 1924, Roanoke, Alabama - June 1, 2019, Atlanta, Georgia) was an American artist who specialized in artist's books.
