She wrote of her highly symbolic paintings that her pictures were “like little windows”, which opened up a view into the interior, her “message of light to the world”. In the 1920s Agnes Pelton started to explore abstract painting, because this offered her the possibility of translating esoteric topics into pictures as well as interpreting earth and light in a spiritual way. Like her fellow-artist Georgia O’Keeffe, Pelton deliberately turned her back on the art scene of the East Coast. She was celebrated for her abstract compositions: “… it is simply an oasis of beauty for the eye”, was how American Art News eulogised her work. After her death Pelton’s work disappeared from the public focus for a long time; today her important artistic contribution to American modernism is acknowledged once more.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: DEItem Height: 205mmItem Length: 140mmItem Weight: 260gContributor: Gilbert Vicario (Edited by)Author: Gilbert VicarioGenre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Great Masters of ArtRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
