Recently viewed Another World:The Transcendental Painting Group 1938-1945 at LACMA through June 19, 2023, an exhibit of artists Emil Bisttram, Robert Gribbroeck, Lawrence Harris, Raymond Johnson, William Lumpkins, Florence Miller, Horace Towner Pierce, Stuart Walker and Agnes Pelton from 1930’s New Mexico that coalesced around a study of the Transcendental.
One of the artists was trying to make a video but stopped short of completing it. He had made 30 small vivid color watercolor paintings. The exhibit projected them on the wall in sequence of Birth, Bloom, Death. I was mesmerized by a color combination of chartreuse and violet. I went back to photograph some and offer here a few photos of the inspiration and then what I did with it.

My interpretation of the painting above by Florence Miller Pierce which has thick oil on heavy textured canvas. My painting is watercolor and a loose interpretation.
It’s wonderful to be moved by the work of artists that preceded us.
Agnes Pelton’s paintings gave me a Transcendental sensation.
Poppies from the exhibit that stirred me.
See the show if you can.
And one more from me of sailing ships on chartreuse.

Interesting to notice that Lawren Harris, a member of the Transcendental Group was also a landscape painter with the Group of 7 out of Canada.
