About the Item

Marguerite Stuber Pearson Nude, circa 1940 Signed lower right Oil on artist board 20 x 16 inches Marguerite Stuber Pearson was an American painter best known for her elegant portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and interiors. Produced in a loose academic style with a subtle understanding of light and color, she often portrayed quiet moments as seen in this work. Born on August 1, 1899 in Philadelphia, PA, while touring Europe as a teenager Pearson contracted polio resulting in her being a paraplegic the rest of her life. Despite this, she was able to pursue her career without being hindered by artistic development. Pearson studied privately with Aldro Thompson Hibbard, and under Frederick Andrew Bosley at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School. She worked as an illustrator for magazines and newspapers before dedicating herself to her own career in 1922. The artist died on April 2, 1978 in Rockport, MA. Today, Pearson’s works are held in the collections of the Springville Museum of Art in Utah, the Currier Gallery of Art in Manchester, NH, and the Farhat Art Museum in Beirut, among others.
