Karl Larsen
Vibrant Still Life, original oil on canvas, post-impressionist, Danish 20th C

1956

About the Item

This painting is an original, oil on canvas by the Danish artist Karl Larsen (1897-1977). This painting is a vibrant still life that is circa 1956. Born in 1897 in Copenhagen, Karl Larsen was predominantly inspired by the 1900s and 1910s growing up. The first decades of the twentieth century were characterized by striking developments in pictorial art. It was the era of post-Impressionism and of experimentation, including the first ventures into Expressionism and Abstraction. Many different groups of artists or loosely affiliated communities of the avant-garde in different major cities around the world developed many modes of these significant innovations. The horrors of the First World War produced important developments in the psychological intentions of art, including the absurdist stylings of Dadaism which appeared in Paris, Berlin, Zurich and Hannover, and which brought recognition for artists like Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and Kurt Schwitters. Many of these ideas would go on to flourish further in Surrealism - the first art movement to fully incorporate psychology, and in particular ideas about the unconscious which had been established by Sigmund Freud and his successor Carl Jung.
