Jane Peterson Still-life Paintings
American, 1876-1965
Jane Peterson's most innovative period was from 1910 to 1930. During this time she produced her most important work. Her trips to Venice resulted in exuberant paintings full of glowing color. This painting is from that period. The brushwork is bold and exciting. The bright round yellow carob flowers contrast with the vertical mauve carob pods. The trunks and branches of the trees form a series of triangles that reflect the lush Mediterranean landscape. Originally the painting was sold in Paris to an American collector.
Jane Peterson was a leading woman post-impressionist painter of the early 20th century. Born in Elgin, Illinois, on November 28, 1876, she was interested in art throughout her childhood. In 1895, she went to New York City to study art at Pratt Institute. Before graduating in 1901, Peterson taught painting and became a popular teacher at Pratt. She then became the Drawing Supervisor of Brooklyn Public Schools. She studied oil painting with Frank Vincent DuMond who emphasized a prismatic palette. Subsequently, she studied painting with Frank Brangwyn in London, Jacques Emile Blanche and André Lhote in Paris, and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida in Madrid. She was influenced by Impressionism and Fauvism during her studies in Paris. In 1924, Peterson's painting, Toilette, received critical acclaim at the New York Society of Painters. Her one-woman show on Fifth Avenue sold out. By this time, she had won numerous awards, was a Fellow at the National Academy of Design, and a member of many art clubs including the American Watercolor Society, Audubon Artists, Pen
Brush Club, and the National Association of Women Artists. In 1925, The New York Times characterized Peterson as "one of the foremost women painters in New York." Known for her colorful, post-impressionistic paintings of Gloucester streets and harbor on Cape Ann; palm trees along the Florida coast; street scenes in Paris, Istanbul, and New York City; and boating views in Venice. Peterson also flamboyantly executed floral subjects and dynamic genre-like portraits.
Carob Tree (Ceratonia siliqua) is a small evergreen tree of the Mediterranean coasts. It has dark green, compound leaves with glossy, oval leaflets. In Italy, the carob tree blooms from September to November. Its seedpods, also known as Saint John's bread, are up to 45 centimeters long and are filled with round, hard seeds and a thick pulp. St. John's Bread was probably the husks in the Prodigal Son parable and the seed which is said to have been the original jewelers' carat weight. The Spaniards call it Algaroba, and the Arabs Kharoub, hence Carob or Caroub Pods, Beans, or Sugar-pods. It is also named Locust Pods. These pods are grown in southern Europe for feeding domestic animals as well as for human food. Carob is sold in health food stores and is often a substitute or alternate to chocolate.to

"Two Bouquets"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 54, plate #062.
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Joseph Barrett (1936 – )
Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf.
A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
