About the Item
Toni LaSelle (1901–2002) was a pioneering American modernist and a key figure in shaping
modern art education in the United States. Strongly influenced by European movements such as the Bauhaus and Constructivism, LaSelle’s practice is defined by a rigorous and elegant exploration of colour, form, and spatial harmony. As both an artist and teacher, she played a
critical role in introducing and advocating modernist ideas in America, long before they were widely embraced.
In the margins of Post-war American modernism, where New York's downtown clamour drowned out many regional voices, Dorothy Antoinette “Toni” LaSelle (1901–2002) composed a quiet, rigorous modernism that was at once fiercely independent and uncannily attuned to international
currents. For decades, LaSelle maintained her artistic practice from Denton, Texas, while building a transatlantic conversation with the European avant-garde and its American interpreters—notably Hans Hofmann and László Moholy-Nagy. That she remained largely overlooked during her lifetime speaks less to the work's significance than to the narrow lens of the art historical canon.
