Adelaide Lawson (June 9, 1889 – October 28, 1986) was an American artist known for her modernist oil paintings of landscapes and figures. She was said to possess an ability to build surface harmony through the use of flat, shadowless forms of generalized color[2] and to use distortion and silhouetted patterning so as to give observers a sense of animation and often amusement.[3][4][5]
