Margaret Jordan Patterson (1867–1950) was an American woodblock printmaker and painter.[2]
Early life and education
[edit]The daughter of a Maine sea captain, Patterson was born on board her father's ship near Surabaya, Java.[3] She then grew up in Boston and Maine.[2]
Her first art instruction came from a correspondence course given by the publisher Louis Prang.[3] She then studied at the Pratt Institute starting in 1895.[4][5] She also studied with Claudio Castellucho in Florence and Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa in Paris.[3]
She also developed friendships with the artists Arthur Wesley Dow and Charles Woodbury.[3] In 1910 she learned how to create color woodblock prints from Ethel Mars.[3]
Career
[edit]She later became head of the art department at Dana Hall School in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and held that job until she retired in 1940.[4] She also worked as an art teacher in public schools in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.[5]
Some of her awards are honorable mention at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in 1915, and a medal from the Philadelphia Watercolor Club in 1939.[5]
Her art is now held in the Cleveland Art Museum, the Oakland Art Museum,[5] the Metropolitan Museum of Art,[6] The Minneapolis Institute of Art,[1] the Museum of Fine Arts Boston,[7] the Princeton University Art Museum,[8] the Smithsonian American Art Museum, [9] and the Victoria and Albert Museum.[10]
