Jane Peterson (American, 1876-1965)
Jane Peterson was a notable American artist whose career spanned the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and known for her versatile and expressive style, which included impressionism, fauvism, and modernism. She painted with vibrant colors and bold brushwork, often capturing the essence and atmosphere of her subjects. Against the conventions of her time, fiercely independent and committed artist Jane Peterson traveled the world solo, painting street scenes, urban and natural vistas, and bold, avant-garde compositions of flowers. Her critically acclaimed works combine an academic attention to naturalistic detail with thoroughly modern, striking color combinations and loose, expressive brushstrokes. Peterson rubbed shoulders with and drew influence from the artistic luminaries of the 20th century, attending Gertrude Stein’s famous salons while living in Paris and taking trips with Louis Comfort Tiffany, Maurice Prendergast, and Childe Hassam.
