Beulah Stevenson
Beulah Stevenson, Three Small Sunflowers and Two Roses by the Window

About the Item

This Three Small Sunflowers still-life by Beulah Stevenson (1890-1965) is a joyful modernist composition. With just touches of color she indicates a window and colorful curtains blowing in the breeze. And we know it’s summer because the window is open and the flowers are from the garden, not a florist. Stevenson was a native New Yorker; she lived in Brooklyn her entire life and attended the Pratt Institute and the Art Students League where she worked with John Sloan. She also studied in Provincetown with Hans Hofmann, taught art at the Brooklyn Girls High School, and was a curator at the Brooklyn Museum. Her work is in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum (which gives her birth year as 1875), and the New York Public Library. Signed in ink lower right; also signed and titled in ink on the reverse.
