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.
You can find more information about
Bessie Pease Gutmann in the book
"Bessie Pease Gutman - Over
Fifty Years of Published Art"
by Karen A Choppa, published by
