Project: ANOTHER WORLD: THE TRANSCENDENTAL PAINTING GROUP, 1938–1945

Year: 2023

Role: ART DIRECTION AND DESIGN

In 1938, within the creative landscape of New Mexico, a visionary collective known as the Transcendental Painting Group emerged. Spearheaded by Raymond Jonson and Emil Bisttram, and joined by artists like Agnes Pelton and Lawren Harris, the group sought to transcend the boundaries of physical representation. Through symbolic, abstract forms, they endeavored to access the “imaginative realms that are idealistic and spiritual,” a goal articulated in their manifesto. This collective harnessed abstraction as a means to evoke spiritual elevation, exploring concepts of space, color, light, and design inspired by the collective unconscious. Although their work was cut short by the advent of World War II, Another World brings renewed focus to their legacy in this first comprehensive, traveling museum exhibition.
