Artwork Title: Summer, Late Afternoon

Summer, Late Afternoon

Jane Peterson

Peterson also aligned herself with the important women’s associations of the day, joining both the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors and The Group, a circle of 6 established women artists who exhibited nationally between 1917 and 1919. These organizations offered fellowship and vital exhibition space during a transformative period in American history, as women aided both in the war effort and the struggle for women’s suffrage. Bearing a label from the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, Summer, Late Afternoon was likely exhibited in October 1922, in a show that a reviewer for American Art News described as ‘one of the best exhibitions in the history of the association.’ Peterson was among several artists to get special mention for their contributions: “Jane Peterson uses soft blues and greens in her harbor view called Late Afternoon.” (http://www.vosegalleries.com/artists/jane-peterson/works/summer-late-afternoon#.WSLIEoU41WY)
