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.

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.
