About the Item

Maura Petersen (American, born 1956) "Lounging Figure" 2019 Acrylic Paint, Canvas, Stretcher Bars The artist signed the back of the painting. In "Lounging Figure", Maura Petersen encapsulates the quiet dynamism of the human form through bold, expressive brushwork and a fluid, fragmented color palette. The reclining figure, though abstracted, conveys a sense of ease and introspection, as if caught in a suspended moment between relaxation and thought. The thick, textured strokes of pale yellows and blues give the figure both solidity and fluidity, blending the human body with the surrounding space, suggesting a unity between the figure and the world around it. About the Artist: Maura Petersen, an inspired artist, was nurtured in an environment steeped in artistry, shaped by the vibrant community surrounding her father, Roland Petersen, a founding professor at the University of California Davis Art Department. Her childhood was rich in modern art influences, with sculptures and paintings by notable artists like Manuel Neri and Wayne Thiebaud gracing her family home. A pivotal sabbatical to Europe in the 1960s exposed her to the art scenes in Paris and London, where she attended lectures and marveled at masterpieces in the Louvre and other prestigious museums. Maura's works explore the interaction of the human figure with both natural and constructed environments, capturing the contrasts of light and shadow and the interplay of forms.
