Description
Agnes Pelton Desert Transcendentalist is the first complete survey of an underrecognized American modernist in over two decades. This book sheds light on the remarkable influence of Agnes Pelton, whose distinctive metaphysical landscape paintings drew chiefly from her own inspirations and superstitions. Through her work, Pelton constructed a fantastic world that allowed her to make sense of the uncontrollable, establishing a new universal order rooted in the natural world. Her paintings feature ethereal veils of light, jagged rock forms, shimmering stars, and exaggerated horizons, creating imaginary tableaus that showcase her unique vision. This vibrant book examines Pelton's work in relation to abstraction, surrealism, and the art of the occult, providing a fresh perspective on an artist who has been understudied for over twenty-two years.
