The spiritually inspired pictures of Agnes Pelton (1881-1961) have
their roots in the desert of California, a place where the artist
settled in 1932 and where she lived until her death. 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.
