Inman Gallery is pleased to present Toni LaSelle: A State of Becoming, an exhibition that focuses on Texas modernist Dorothy Antoinette (Toni) LaSelle's work during a time of significant artistic exploration for the artist. The show will include paintings and works on paper from 1946-1971, beginning with two paintings from the late-1940s, a period when LaSelle was assimilating ideas from European modernism while also immersing herself in the cutting-edge developments happening in contemporary American painting. During the period represented by the works in the A State of Becoming, LaSelle developed her own language of abstraction, which is informed by geometry and nature.
