AGNES LAWRENCE PELTON, 1881-1961

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.
