Evelyn Peters Captures the Grandeur of Americana by Elizabeth Exler, Manhattan Arts,
November-December 1991.
The archetypal grandeur that is postcard perfect, can only result from meticulous observations and technical prowess. In the indomitable spirit of early American painting, Evelyn Peters records the wild natural beauty of the American terrain and its native genre. The literalness and the suggestion of the traditional flatness of limner painting, are spectacularly achieved in her pristine views of idealized Americana. The panoramic skies with their fleecy clouds, the localized regional folklore and architecture, windmills, barns, and horse-driven wagons, represent her special milieu. Her personal history is as strikingly graphic as her work; pioneer women, mountain men, gold miners, and ranchers figure picturesquely in her background.
Ms Peters portrays Native Americans as did the famous portraitist George Catlin. She states, "The love of the wilderness and wildlife (especially fond memories of the years in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest and New Mexico), the hunting, the fishing, the living among the Indians, or the years working with horses and other aspects of ranch and farm life, all of this had a place in the evolvement of my work."
The artist recollects the nostalgia of a bygone age with a pastoral timelessness, inbuing her work with melodrama and bucolic serenity.
