重新发现一位美国现代主义者及她对自然的诗意颂歌。

 

艾格尼丝·佩尔顿（1881-1961）那些充满灵性的画作源自加州的沙漠，那是她1932年定居并生活至终老的地方。裴尔顿曾写道，她那些极具象征意义的画作“就像一扇扇小窗”，打开了通往内心世界的视野，传递着她“向世界发出的光之讯息”。20世纪20年代，裴尔顿开始探索抽象绘画，因为这为她提供了将深奥主题转化为图像的可能。与她的同行艺术家乔治亚·奥基夫一样，裴尔顿有意识地远离了东海岸的艺术圈。她的抽象构图备受赞誉：《美国艺术新闻》曾赞颂她的作品是“一场视觉上的美之绿洲”。裴尔顿去世后，她的作品曾长时间淡出公众视野，但近年来，她作为一位重要的美国现代主义者开始受到重视。

 

Rediscover an American modernist and her poetic celebration of nature.

 

The spiritually inspired pictures of Agnes Pelton (1881–1961) have their roots in the desert of California, a place where she settled in 1932 and lived until her death. Pelton 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 Pelton started to explore abstract painting because this offered her the possibility of translating esoteric topics into pictures. 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 eulogized her work. After her death, Pelton’s work disappeared from the public focus for a long time, but in recent years she’s begun to be valued as a crucial American modernist.
