| Born in Stuttgart, Germany to American parents, William Halsey Pelton and Florence Pelton, Agnes Pelton was a pioneering American modernist whose career had several phases that reflected her wide-ranging interests, extensive travels, and ability to grow and change. From 1900 to 1914, she did "imaginative paintings" focused on her 'inner self'; in 1919, a visit to the Southwest and exposure to Pueblo Indians initiated her portrait phase. In 1923-1924 in Hawaii, she added floral and bo (showing 500 of 11087 characters). |
