| Born Jennie Christine in Elgin, Illinois, she officially changed her
name to Jane Peterson in 1909 after her first success as an
artist. Her family was of humble background but certainly not
poverty stricken. She became famous for a wide range of works
from landscapes to still-lives that blend Impressionist and
Expressionist movements. As a woman, her life was much more
independent and adventurous than those of most of her contemporaries,
and she traveled widely to paint (showing 500 of 16610 characters). |
