O’Keeffe (1887–1986) and Pelton (1881–1961) were born six years apart in the 1880s, while Martin (1912–2004) and Pierce (1918–2007) were born six years apart in the 1910s. Illumination sheds new light on the two groups of con- temporaries and on the development of American art from one generation to the next during a pivotal time in art history. While Martin and O’Keeffe became icons of modern art during their long lifetimes, both Pelton and Pierce are only now beginning to receive the wider recognition they deserve. Illumination places the work of these two artists into the context that it merits and, in so doing, provides fresh insights into the work of their more famous counterparts. Just as Illumination represents the unique visions of these four stellar painters, it also reveals the insight and intelligence of Karen Moss, the Orange County Museum of Art’s deputy director for exhibitions and programs. Karen initiated this exhibition and brought it to fruition with assistance from her colleagues in the curatorial department. Many thanks to Anna Brouwer, publications manager, and Gina Conway, curatorial associate, for their diligent work on both the exhibition and this publication. I must also acknowledge Anna-Marie Sanchez, exhibitions and collections manager, for undertaking the huge task of overseeing loans, shipping, and registration, and managing the exhibition tour. Additional thanks to Curator Sarah Bancroft; former Research Associate Carol Cheh, for her key contributions in the early phases of this project; and Stacie Martinez, graduate intern, for her work on the biographical chronologies. For their exceptional work on the complicated installation, I extend thanks to Director of Operations Albert Lopez, Jr., and the entire museum crew. 7 Special thanks are also due to all the other OCMA staff who worked on this It is with tremendous pleasure that we present eighty works drawn from some ambitious exhibition: Kristine Bowen, director of education; Jenni Stenson, school of the most prominent public and private collections in the United States.

Further research into the career of this striking but relatively unknown Californian Modernist revealed that, although Pelton was one of the few women artists selected to exhibit in the historic New York Armory Show of 1913, there had been only one major exhibition of her work, Agnes Pelton: Poet of Nature, curated by Michael Zakian at the Palm Springs Desert Museum in 1995. In reviewing the rather limited literature on Pelton, I began to notice several articles that compared her work with that of her more celebrated contemporary, Georgia O’Keeffe.1 These references piqued my interest and encouraged me to explore the idea of an exhibition that would examine the similarities and differences between these two important Modernist painters. Subsequently, when I traveled to New Mexico to view Pelton’s work at the Jonson Gallery at the University of New Mexico Art Museum, Albuquerque, I had the opportunity to see the transcendental and monochrome paintings of Florence Miller Pierce for the first time. Pierce was well known among her peers, particularly in New Mexico, but, like Pelton, was relatively unknown until quite recently. After doing further research on Pierce, I became aware of the exhibition In Pursuit of Perfection, curated by Timothy Robert Rodgers at the New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe, in 2004, which included works by both Pierce and Agnes Martin. Once again, I thought that an in-depth comparison between these two artists—one well known, the other underrecognized—would be fascinating. Ultimately, rather than organizing an exhibition devoted to O’Keeffe and Pelton, I decided that it would be more interesting to examine the paintings of two pairs of artists from two successive generations that together span an entire century. This curatorial strategy provides an opportunity for dyadic comparisons between Fig. 1 Agnes Pelton, Illumination, 1930 Oil on canvas, 451/2 x 27 in.

While much has been published on the celebrated careers of both O’Keeffe and Martin, Pelton and Pierce are admired by art historians and other artists but are still underrecognized.

  • Georgia O'keeffe and Agnes Pelton
    Art and Life Illuminated: Georgia O’Keeffe and Agnes Pelton, Agnes Martin and Florence Miller Pierce Karen Moss alter De Maria’s Lightning Field, installed in a remote area of the high desert in western New Mexico in 1977, is composed of four hundred 20-foot-high (6.06 m) polished stainless-steel poles situated 220 feet W(66.73 m) apart in a 1 x 0.62 mile (1.6 x 1 km) grid. De Maria’s intent is for the viewer to experience the “field” of this expansive land project both temporally and physically, preferably during the peak of the monsoon season, when one is most likely to encounter a thunderstorm. Given the project’s title and now well-known photographic documentation, the visitor eagerly anticipates a decisive moment when lightning strikes along the vast horizon, momentarily connecting this sculptural intervention with the mercurial forces of nature, but in reality this occurs rather infrequently. What one discovers, however, in watching the distant sun rise and set against the dark silhouetted hills and primordial plateaus, or in closely observing the field by walking among the poles, is that the most significant aspect of De Maria’s project is not the sudden spectacle of lightning, but the more subtle and utterly sublime quality of the constantly changing light. In an essay on New Mexico, Libby Lumpkin discusses how many modern artists have been attracted to the sublime light and landscape of the state. While some arrived as early as the 1880s, when the Santa Fe railroad was built, it was in the 1920s that writer and art patron Mabel Dodge Luhan (Sterne until 1923) began hosting artists and painters at her home in Taos.

  • Synthesizing Transcendental Painting: Race, Religion, and Aesthetics in the Art of Emil Bisttram, Raymond Jonson, and Agnes Pelton
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SYNTHESIZING TRANSCENDENTAL PAINTING: RACE, RELIGION, AND AESTHETICS IN THE ART OF EMIL BISTTRAM, RAYMOND JONSON, AND AGNES PELTON Nathan K. Rees, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Sally M. Promey, professor of religion and visual culture, professor of American studies, and deputy director of the Institute of Sacred Music, Yale University, formerly professor of art history, University of Maryland, College Park. Three core artists of the Transcendental Painting Group, Emil Bisttram (1895- 1976), Raymond Jonson (1891-1982), and Agnes Pelton (1881-1961), employed modernist painting styles in an attempt to create spiritually significant art. Although previous scholarship has focused on the artists’ formal innovations, their work was imbricated in contemporary cultural politics, actively participating in discourses surrounding conceptions of race, religion, aesthetics, and the interrelation of each of these realms. Each drew from sources in metaphysical religious literature, especially Theosophy and related traditions. Their theories of ideal aesthetics for religious art, based on the supposition that artists could convey direct emotional experience through abstraction, reflected the Theosophical drive to overcome materialist philosophy by transcending the limits of physicality. Bisttram, Pelton, and Jonson also internalized Theosophy’s promotion of syncretism as a guiding principle, and followed metaphysical religionists in advocating a combinative appropriation from diverse religious and artistic traditions. In particular, they relied on Theosophical conceptions of the importance of gleaning allegedly ancient wisdom as they addressed American Indian cultures of the Southwest. Their art created a hybrid iconography, combining symbolic elements from metaphysical religious sources with imagery derived from Southwest Indian cultures, asserting an integral relationship between the two, and advancing the perceived agreement between Native American and Theosophical religious systems as evidence of the truth of the latter.

  • Transcendentalist Archive
    Art and Soul How a little-known group of New Mexico painters helped change the art world BY NANCY ZIMMERMAN espite its relative isolation, New Mexico has been home to more than its fair share of artists and artistic movements over the years. But while most people know of the more famous artists and alliances that put the state on the artistic map—Los Cinco Pintores of Santa Fe and the Taos Modernists among them—one group remains relatively obscure despite its contributions in bringing nonobjective and abstract art into the mainstream during the years leading up to World War II. Although its existence was short- lived, that group brought together some of the art world’s bright lights for a brief but influential period of artistic experimentation and philosophical exploration. The year was 1938. The unsettling drumbeat of impending war in Europe had the world on edge as Hitler invaded Austria and began eyeing Czechoslovakia. In the U.S., the slow but steady ascent from the depths of the Great Depression was temporarily derailed by a new recession. Uncertainty and fear were becoming endemic, with political institutions here and abroad struggling to adjust to rapidly unfolding events. The time was ripe for a new consciousness to emerge, one that would assuage the dread and revive America’s celebrated optimism, but it wasn’t likely to come from the Establishment, which dealt with matters of policy and politics. As is often the case, it needed to come from the world of art, which transcends barriers of language and culture to reach people everywhere with its universally understood expressions of truth.

The exhibition opens on Friday, July 9, 2010 and continues through Monday, August 30, 2010 in our main galleries. The opening reception will be Friday, July 9, 2010 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. William Lumpkins (1909-2000), was the sole artist among the early modernists who could rightly claim his connection to New Mexico and the inspiration from the high desert landscapes as a birthright. As a young boy, Lumpkins saw a man demonstrating painting techniques in the window of a hardware store, spurring his initial interest in becoming an artist. In 1929, he enrolled at the University of New Mexico where he took painting classes from artist Neil Hogner and architect Irwin Parsons, markedly influencing his artistic development. “Pass Thru” Watercolor on paper, 1973 Lumpkins subsequently met a network of other young modern 18” x 24” artists, including Cady Wells and Andrew Dasburg. These artists first introduced Lumpkins to the conceptual aspects underlined in non- representational painting; viewing art as a vehicle of personal expression through line and color. In 1930 his interest in abstraction was piqued after viewing an exhibition of New Mexico watercolors by the artist John Marin. Marin’s deconstructed landscapes had a profound impact on Lumpkins, whose style was already developing toward abstraction.
