THE TRANSCENDENTAL PAINTING GROUP
Vision & Spirit: Raymond Jonson and the Transcendental Painting Group
“An intimate story of the New Mexico artists who brought modernism to New Mexico. Ground breaking, provocative and beautiful, their paintings were an investigation to the artist’s spirit as they saw new vision for painting. Featured are interviews with New Mexico’s leading art historians, the words of the painters themselves and an interview with Florence Pierce one of the last surviving members of this group. Originally broadcast on New Mexico PBS channel KNME.”
