Discover the unique artistry of Agnes Pelton, a pioneering figure in American modernism, with this exquisite collection showcasing her spiritually inspired paintings. Pelton, who lived from 1881 to 1961, found profound inspiration in the serene desert landscape of California, where she settled in 1932.
