Ann Ter-Pogossian (July 13, 1932 - April 17, 2022), was an American oil painter who exhibited in the United States, England, Spain, France, and Italy.[1][2] Works included landscapes, still lifes, portraits, figures in motion, and commentaries on current events.[2] One review described her work as using "knowledge of the great artistic movements of the past … to re-evaluate and reinterpret familiar themes concerning the problems of figures in movement, perspective and iconography."[3] A common theme in later works is the roles of women in society.[2]
She was born and spent most of her life around St. Louis, Missouri, but also resided in Liberty Corner, New Jersey.[2][3][4] Some of her early works document and interpret the history and development of downtown St. Louis.[2]
Her later works are signed Ann Ter-Pogossian, but other signatures include Ann Scott, Ann Scott Dodson, Ann Dodson, ATP, and ANN.[5][6]
