This video introduced me to Agnes Pelton, and I am so grateful for it. I find her work extraordinary, especially in light of the fact that this was an artist uniquely her own -- in life and personal commitment, and truth. Now I can't get enough of her, and will seek it out when I travel. Interesting allusions to O'Keefe but glad to hear that it would be wrong to compare them -- even though resonances exist. Those resonances -- the shading and colors; the defined edges -- the abstractions of the living world -- in Pelton are so completely her own. What a fascinating artist, and I truly hope more of her unfound work appears. Thank you!
As much as I love O'Keeffe I feel comparing Pelton's work to hers is off target. O'Keeffe's work is the spirit of the earth whereas Pelton's is transcendental and in the league of Hilma af Klimt.
