About the Item

Vivid mid-century floral still-life with anemones and statue by Marguerite Stuber Pearson (American, 1898-1978), circa 1940s. Signed lower right corner. Presented in rustic gilt-toned bamboo and wood frame. Image size: 20"H x 24"W. Framed size: 24"H x 28"W. Born in Philadelphia August 1, 1899, Marguerite Stuber Pearson was the daughter of confectioner, Arthur G. Pearson and his wife Ottelia. Having been stricken with polio in her teens, Marguerite S. Pearson was left a paraplegic who was confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life, but that disadvantage did not deter her early dream to become a respected figure and genre painter. Pearson studied at the Fenway School of Illustration (Boston), Boston's Museum School with Frederick Bosley and William James (1918-1922), took private art lessons from Edmund C. Tarbell (1922-1927) and later studied with Aldro T. Hibbard (landscape painting), Henry Leith-Ross, Henry Hunt Clark, Howard Giles (design), Harold N. Anderson and Chase Emerson (illustration). She became best well known for her floral still lifes and interiors with figures.
