- Lot Description
JANE PETERSON (AMERICAN, 1876-1965) STILL-LIFE OF POPPIES AND IRISES IN A VASE, oil on canvas, a fine example featuring a glazed ceramic vase, set slightly off-center, filled with yellow poppies and white irises on a green-colored table top, signed lower right. Housed in an old frame with white-washed surface. Circa 1925. 23 1/2" SQ (sight), 30" SQ (overall).
Catalogue Note: One of the most important post-Impressionist painters of the 20th century, Jane Peterson (1876-1865) was born in Elgin, Illinois to humble beginnings. Having little to know artistic training in her childhood, she was nonetheless able to visit the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Illinois, a trip that had a profound influence on the direction of her life. At the Exposition not only was she able to view work by avant-garde artists such as Child Hassam and Mary Cassatt but she was also introduced to the newly formed Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where she would enroll two years later as a student. After graduation from Pratt, Peterson studied at the Art Students League with Frank Dumond in New York, and in 1907 she traveled to Europe, the first of many trips to the continent she would take over the course of her life. It was during these formative years in Europe, particularly Paris, that Peterson became friends with fellow expatriate Gertrude Stein, whose famous Parisian salon was near the young artist's rooms. Through Stein, Peterson was introduced to the likes of Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, and Georges Braque. In Paris, Peterson also met Louis Comfort Tiffany, establishing an artistic relationship that would last for decades and include numerous visits, commissions, and even a transcontinental railroad trip in Tiffany's private railway car. Overall, Jane Peterson was somewhat of a pioneer, traveling alone not only to Europe but also to parts of Turkey and North Africa as an independent woman.
Back in the United States, Peterson quickly gained the reputation as a rising artist, and she stayed busy with numerous commissions from wealthy patrons while also putting on several solo exhibitions. In 1925, she married lawyer M. Bernard Philipp and began to focus more on studio work, namely still-life painting, particularly floral compositions.
Completely fresh to the market, the present work typifies Peterson's mature style, which is identified by loose brush strokes and the deft handling of light and color.
