ชีวประวัติ:

Jane Wilson (1924–2015) was an American painter associated with both landscape painting and expressionism. She lived and worked in New York City and Water Mill, New York. Wilson was born in Seymour, Iowa on April 29, 1924. She grew up on a farm there during the Great Depression. She was the first of two girls born to Wayne Wilson, a civil engineer, and his wife, the former Ethel Mary Haugland. Wilson attended the University of Iowa, where she received a B.A. in 1945 and an M.A. in 1947. She taught at the University of Iowa from 1947 to 1949. In 1949, Wilson moved to New York City with her husband John Jonas Gruen, who had been a fellow student. In New York City and on Long Island, Wilson became part of a circle of artists and writers that included Willem de Kooning, Jackson Pollock, Lee Krasner, and Fairfield Porter. In 1952, she had her first solo exhibition at the Stable Gallery in New York City. In the late 1960s, Wilson increasingly painted still lifes, continuing through the 1970s. In the early 1980s, she returned to painting landscapes. In 1970, Wilson and her husband bought a house in Water Mill, New York, where they spent their summers. Wilson died in New York City on January 13, 2015.
