Note

Jane Peterson was among America’s most innovative artists, developing a distinctive style that fused traditional painting with the modern impulses of Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, and Expressionism. Like many American Impressionists and early modernists, she drew inspiration from both urban and rural life in the United States as well as the great cityscapes of Europe. Peterson traveled widely, studying at the London School of Art with Frank Brangwyn, and cultivated a style marked by strong design, bold silhouettes, and dramatic mass.[1] Her work is held in over 30 museum collections including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Brooklyn Museum.
