We have three Agnes Pelton landscapes in the current Pelton Show at the PSAM. One is of a tree that is thought to be a painting done of the tree she often referred to.
Rochelle Steiner, curator of the museum, wrote this to us.
“And I can tell you what I learned about the tree – essentially it is believed to be a tree on a farm in Connecticut that Agnes and her cousin would visit. Agnes’s niece showed me a photo of what she believe to be the tree from visiting the farm on a recent excursion. That’s the story of the tree.”
Paul Grimm seems to have a lot of landscapes done in 1938 and were in a # show. Anyone know anything about that show?
