Newport Beach, CA - The Orange County Museum of Art (OCMA) presents Illumination: The Paintings of Georgia O’Keeffe, Agnes Pelton, Agnes Martin, and Florence Miller Pierce, the first exhibition to bring together the work of these four important American modernist painters. More than 100 works have been drawn from the most prominent and private collections in the United States for this exhibition. All four women made indelible marks on modernist art of the 20th century . . O’Keeffe and Pelton created distinctive images using lush, organic forms, while Martin and Pierce produced signature geometric works of sublime simplicity. They also all drew on nature as their primary focus, inspired by arid and spare desert environments: O’Keeffe, Pierce and Martin, lived much of their lives in New Mexico, while Pelton resided in Cathedral City near Palm Springs, California.
