About the Item
The work of Ruth Leavitt (1944, Saint Paul, Minnesota) employs computation to manipulate and alter abstract forms by virtually stretching, rotating and deforming them across three axes. Her modular structures share a resemblance but are not identical. Leavitt published extensively on the subject of computer art including editing the book Artist and Computer (1976). Describing her experience of producing works at the Space Science Laboratories at the University of Minnesota Leavitt recalls: ‘My work in the lab was accomplished from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. when no one else was working there because science professors regarded time on the computer too valuable to pursue artistic endeavours. However, after a few years, seeing my results and publications, the director of the lab awarded me a grant. The “stretching” program [was] created during this time . . . At the time, unlike the scientific community which eventually came to believe computer art credible, the art world was vehemently opposed to using computers to make art.’ (From The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg)

Born in Russia in 1907, Ilya Bolotowsky left his native country in his early childhood. The family was forced to emigrate as a result of his parent’s anti-Communist sentiments. They traveled first to Constantinople, then settled in New York City in 1923. Bolotowsky enrolled at the National Academy of Design in 1924. He tried out many styles in this period, ranging from the representational and classical to the abstract and expressionistic. In the early 1930s he became a designer of textiles. In 1932 Bolotowsky spent ten months in Europe. Although he was already familiar with prevailing modernist movements, the opportunity to study a wide range of these works and to meet some of the artists who had made them affected Bolotowsky profoundly. As a result of this trip, Bolotowsky began to synthesize aspects of Cubism with the abstract Surrealism of artists like Miro and Arp. These softer, floating forms gave way to a rectilinear geometry as he became more influenced by the Constructivists and Mondrian. Upon his return to the United States, Bolotowsky married his fellow painter Esphyr Slobodkina...
