The Artist: Bessie Pease Gutmann Artist's Profile: Bessie Gutmann Bessie Collins Pease Gutmann was born in 1876 in Philadelphia, PA and died in 1960. As an artist, her achievements were unparalleled by any other female of her time. Her favorite subjects were infants and children, but other subjects included adults and animals. She also did a series of Colonial Interior scenes. These prints have the Gutmann signature on the lower right, but the signature sometimes appears to be different because it was not always Bessie who signed them. Bessie attended the Philadelphia School of Design for Women from 1893 - 1894 and then the Art Students League from 1899 - 1901. Early in her career she sketched portraits, advertisements, and illustrations for local newspapers. Then in 1903 she was hired as a commercial artist. Two of the children's books that she illustrated were "A Child's Garden of Verses" by Robert Louis Stevenson and "Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll . Her art work appeared on postcards, calendars and art prints as well as in newspapers and on magazine covers. Bessie's art was reproduced on fine porcelain by two World Renowned collectible plate producers: Hamilton and Islandia. The Plate Lady of Tampa Bay is proud to be able to offer these fine Limited Edition Collectibles to our gift shopping customers. In 1947 Bessie decided to stop producing art because of failing eyesight, but by then she already had over 600 art prints to her credit. After her death in 1960, three children's books were published which included images from her art prints. Her original prints are extremely collectible today and certain of her rarer works, in the best condition, can bring $500 - $13,000 or more at auction. The Gutmann Colonials are not as valuable, with most valued in the $50 - $100 range.
