Jane Peterson
London Bridge, n.d.
Renowned for her colorful illustrations of American parks, beaches, and city streets, Peterson solidified her reputation as a leading New York artist after studying at the Pratt Institute under the direction of Impressionist painter Frank Vincent Du Mond. In 1907, she traveled to Europe, studying in France, Spain, and England where she executed London Bridge. Although more muted in palette than her typically vibrant canvases, Peterson's broad strokes and loose application of paint exemplify her signature brushwork. |
