Description
The Transcendental Painting Group: A Radical Episode in American Modernism In the 1930s, a group of artists in New Mexico sought to challenge the prevailing social realism in American art by promoting abstract art that pursued spiritual illumination. Founded in 1938, the Transcendental Painting Group (TPG) was a radical and prescient movement that aimed to promote enlightenment through art. This book provides a broad perspective on the group's work, positioning it within the history of modern painting and 20th-century American art. The TPG's artists, including nine original members and later Ed Garman, were united by their interest in esoteric thought and Theosophy, and their works reflect the unique cultural and landscape of the American Southwest. The book examines the group's work in light of their international artistic peers, and sheds new light on the experience of its two female members. With this volume, the TPG's contributions to 20th-century abstraction are finally given the recognition they deserve.
