Toni LaSelle American, 1901-2002

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.
