About the Item
This early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Carla Colsmann Mohr (1887-1974) depicts a view from Amager towards the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was exhibited at the prestigious Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1913. Overall condition of the painting is very good. Signed lower right and dated 1913. Original frame in good condition. Overall framed measurements are 33.5 by 44 inches. Provenance: A Water Mill, New York collector.
The painting is executed in a post-impressionistic style with her loose brushwork, emphasis on color and flat appearance. Her block like style in her use of color in the buildings of this landscape are one of her trademarks.
Mohr was a fascinating artist who worked during an important time for female painters in Denmark. Training at a drawing school exclusively for women, she began her studies beset by obstacles relating to gender. Throughout her career, she championed women’s rights and pushed for a fairer deal for women in art. It’s a known fact that during the 19th and early 20th centuries, women would often receive less per painting than their male counterparts. Simply due to prejudice. Mohr’s role in challenging these perceptions was a vital part of her career.

Condition of the painting is very good. No restorations. His paintings rarely come to the market. The painting is housed in a contemporary gold leaf gallery frame. Overall framed measurements are 24.25 by 28.75 inches. Provenance: Papillon Gallery (gallery label verso) Edmond Heuze 1883-1967 Edmond Heuzé was a painter, pastellist, watercolourist, and lithographer. His birth name was Amédée Le Trouvé. He was born in Paris, the son of a tailor and a seamstress. Heuzé wanted to be an artist from early childhood, and refused to follow his father into the tailoring profession. When he was 11, His parents moved to Montmartre, and it was there, in rue Cortot, that the thirteen-year-old Edmond Heuzé and his boyhood friend André Utter met Suzanne Valadon, whom Utter would later marry. Heuzé moved into an attic room in 8, rue Cortot, with another friend, the young Russian sculptor Laxine. For two years they studied under Valadon, until Laxine entered the atelier of Fernand Cormon at the Beaux-Arts; Laxine was soon to kill himself. Edmond Heuzé too studied under Cormon, but flounced out when Cormon made fun of his large nose. Discouraged, Heuzé took up a tailoring job at the department store La Samaritaine. But when his portrait of Suzanne Valadon was accepted by the 1902 Salon d'Automne, he resolved to devote himself to art. To support himself, Heuzé took a job as a dancer at the Moulin Rouge, where he danced with La Goulue. For two years he entered dance competitions across Europe under the name Williams. He also taught the painter Maurice Utrillo, who was the son of Suzanne Valadon. In 1908, Heuzé had his first solo exhibition, at the galerie Berthe Weill. The following year he went to Saint Petersburg, where he was the curator of the art collection of Grand Duke Nicolas. On the outbreak of WWI Edmond Heuzé returned to Paris to join up, but was only mobilized for a few months. In Paris he survived doing odd jobs in Les Halles. Continuing with his own art, Heuzé also acted as an intermediary between collectors and artists such as Picasso, Vlaminck, and Valadon. This led to Heuzé being appointed artistic director of the galerie Sagot in rue Lafitte. In 1920 Heuzé exhibited at Bernheim alongside Maurice Asselin, Emily Charmy, and Lucien Mainssieux...Category
