BiographyToni LaSelle's deep interest and engagement with the tradition of European modernism was a defining factor in her artistic development and output. Growing up in the American Midwest far from major cultural centers, LaSelle was nevertheless a voracious and intuitive student of modernism. The artist discovered Post-Impressionism and Cubism while attending Nebraska Wesleyan University for her BA (1923). Images from the iconic 1913 Armory show served as a catalyst for LaSelle's artistic lineage that stems from European modernism. While completing her Master's in art history from the University of Chicago (1926), LaSelle wrote her thesis on the indigenous masks of New Guinea in the Field Museum collection and their influence on the development of Cubism in Paris. After graduating, she spend six months studying in England, Italy, and France. From 1928-1972, LaSelle taught university level art and design in Texas, while simultaneously engaging with the burgeoning concepts and processes of modernism as part of her own intellectual and artistic pursuit. During sabbaticals and summers, she sought out teachers and mentors, the most influential being European émigrés Hans Hofmann and Lázló Moholy-Nagy. LaSelle's reputation grew within her region and she became an acknowledged expert on the new trends in art, periodically giving museums lectures on Hofmann, Moholy-Nagy as well as other European artists such as Piet Mondrian, Jean Dubuffet, and Pablo Picasso. In 1942 Moholy-Nagy travelled to Texas to teach workshops for LaSelle's students, and she subsequently studied with Moholy-Nagy and Gyorgy Kepes at the Chicago Bauhaus in the summers of 1942 and 1943. Additionally, LaSelle was instrumental in organizing a show at the Dallas Museum of Art for Hofmann in 1947. References1. ^Bio External links
