The Artistic Practice of Rita Blitt

Rita Blitt is an American painter, sculptor, and filmmaker. Born in Kansas City, United States, she pursued her formal art education at the University of Illinois and the University of Missouri at Kansas City, later continuing her studies at the Kansas City Art Institute. Her creative output is characterized by abstract organic lines and shapes, often drawing inspiration from nature, music, and dance. This expressive approach is evident in her black line paintings and her pastel "Oval" series.

Blitt’s work extends into the realm of large-scale sculpture, including the sixty-foot piece titled "One" located in Overland Park, Kansas. Her sculptural achievements include "Sensuously Stacked Steel," which placed fifth in the 2005 Florence Biennale. Additionally, Blitt has explored the intersection of visual arts and film, collaborating on works such as "Caught in Paint," a film documenting her collaboration with the Parsons Dance Company and Lois Greenfield.

Exhibitions and Legacy

Throughout her career, Blitt has participated in over 70 solo exhibitions across the United States, Israel, and Singapore. Her work is held in various collections, including the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City and the Mulvane Art Museum, which houses the Rita Blitt Gallery and Sculpture Garden. Her artistic journey has been documented in several publications, including "Rita Blitt: The Passionate Gesture" and "Rita Blitt, Reaching Out From Within."
