Martin Petersen (1866-1956) "Sunset, New Hampshire"
Martin Petersen (1866 - 1956) Etching on paper, 1935 published in 1948. B. 9939 (Kramer 116) by AAA in an edition of 250, signed in pencil lower right "Martin Petersen", piece measures 8 7/8 x 9 inches. This is a very atmospheric etching with a vast amount of detail. Martin Petersen was born in Denmark 1866 and settled in Jersey City in 1884. He studied at the National Academy of Design. For fifty years he supported himself as an anatomical artist for the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University. He produced a large body of etched work in the tradition of John Sloan and Reginald Marsh. He also received innumerable awards during his career and his work today is found in many museum collections. He painted landscapes and figure subjects. In 1905, he won the third Hallgarten prize an exhibition of the National Academy of Design. The paintings attracted the attention of H.V. Allison, head of the Allison Gallery in New York; the breadth and vigor of his paintings, drawings and etchings attracted favorable comment by critics who found them quite in contrast to his exact and unemotional medical drawings
