Poul Møller
Danish Mid-Century Colourfield Oil on Board of Houses and People in a Landscape.

1977

About the Item

Danish oil on board painting of couples making their way in a landscape, by Poul Møller. Though not signed the painting has a dated artist's label to the side of the frame. Presented in a plain wood frame. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist atelier thence by descent. A highly colourful and imposing view of figures making their way in pairs in a landscape. They could be worshippers making their way to a kirk or church, the building in the far distance. The artist has beautifully captured the scale of the scene. Møller as usual has used a myriad of fields of colours, almost cubist/geometric inspired, to create monuments of the buildings in their green landscape under a deep blue sky. Strong lines of perspective take us on a journey with the people in the painting beyond the white buildings to what appears to be a blue lake or sea. The use of black and white for the figures allow the surrounding colours to sing. And these colours are intense and deep. The abstract colour fields are reminiscent of the early landscapes by Nicolas de Staël. An painting with great energy which draws the viewer in to another world. Poul Møller was a Danish artist with a focus on landscape paintings often in the same colour palette. He worked with simple, figurative compositions whose colour surfaces structure the motifs. Landscape paintings, layouts and figure pictures are often tightly composed. He was much influenced by his fellow Danish artists and contemporaries Immanuel Ibsen, Edvard Weie and Søren Hjort-Nielsen.. Much of their work developed from Expressionism in the early years and lead to the renewal of Danish landscape painting in the mid 20th Century.
