Excellent- More about Agnes Pelton
Agnes Pelton, a California-based artist who settled in 1932, created spiritually inspired pictures rooted in the desert. She wrote of her paintings as "little windows" that offered a view into her interior and her "message of light to the world." Pelton explored abstract painting in the 1920s, allowing her to translate esoteric topics into images and interpret earth and light spiritually. Her work was celebrated for its abstract compositions, described as an oasis of beauty for the eye. After her death, her work disappeared from public focus but is now acknowledged as an important contribution to American modernism.

Agnes Pelton's (1881-1961) spiritually inspired pictures are deeply rooted in the desert of California, a place she settled in 1932 and called home until her passing. She expressed her profound connection to her highly symbolic paintings, describing them as "little windows" that offered a glimpse into her inner world and her "message of light to the world." Pelton's artistic journey began in the 1920s when she delved into abstract painting, driven by her desire to convey esoteric themes and interpret earth and light in a spiritual manner. Unlike her fellow artist Georgia OKeeffe, Pelton chose to distance herself from the art scene on the East Coast. Her abstract compositions, characterized by their simplicity and beauty, earned her widespread acclaim. American Art News praised her work, stating, "It is simply an oasis of beauty for the eye." However, after her death, Pelton's work fell out of public focus for some time. Today, her significant artistic contribution to American modernism is once again recognized and celebrated.
