Synopsis
Agnes Pelton became famous for her distinctive metaphysical landscape paintings rooted in the imagery of the American Southwest and California. Drawing chiefly on her own inspirations, superstitions, and beliefs, Pelton manifested emotional states in the form of ethereal veils of light, jagged rock forms, shimmering stars, and exaggerated horizons. Through these imaginary tableaus, she constructed a fantastic world that allowed her to make sense of that which is uncontrollable, establishing for herself a new universal order rooted in the natural world.
Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist is the first survey of this understudied painter in more than twenty-two years. Examining the artist’s work in relation to the movements of abstraction, surrealism, and art of the occult, this vibrant book sheds light on Pelton’s remarkable influence on American spiritual modernism.

Condition: As New. In der Wuste Kaliforniens fand Agnes Pelton (1881-1961) die Motive fur ihre hochsymbolischen Gemalde und widmete sich uber drei Jahrzehnte der Malerei spiritueller Abstraktion. Erstmals seit uber 22 Jahren ruckt die Publikation Pelton und ihr Werk in die Offentlichkeit und untersucht ihren wichtigen kunstlerischen Beitrag zur amerikanischen Moderne. Biomorphe Kompositionen aus zarten Schleiern, schimmernde Sterne, atmospharische Horizontlinien - die ekstatischen Bilder der Malerin Agnes Pelton entfuhren den Betrachter in eine von religiosen Quellen inspirierte Welt, die von Theosophie und Agni Yoga bis zu den spirituellen Lehren von Dane Rudhyar und Will Levington Comfort reichen. Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war sie in zahlreichen Einzel und Gruppenausstellungen in den USA und im Ausland vertreten. Ahnlich wie Georgia O'Keeffe zog sich Pelton vom Trubel der Kunstszene in die kalifornische Wuste zuruck, um jenseits des Mainstreams mit ihren abstrakten Landschaftsstudien ihre >>Lichtbotschaft an die Welt<< zu vermitteln.
