About the Item
Danish surrealist oil pastel on paper of a harbour scene by Poul Møller. The pastel is signed PM and dated 71 to the bottom right. Presented in a plain wood tray frame.
Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist atelier thence by descent.
A charming view of a father and child watching the sun set over a harbour scene. They look out over the calm highly reflective water to the distant silhouette of boats at anchor against the opposing harbour wall. The faintest image of a building can be seen at the end of the harbour just behind and to the left of the larger boat. Possibly the red light of a lighthouse shines out dramatically in the background.
Møller has cleverly layered this work. Images appear one through another building up an almost ghostly veiled effect giving the viewer a real sense of calm and serenity watching the figures as they trace the sunset over the harbour. Reflections and shadows bounce around the picture all softened by the use of oil pastel.
A very calming, grounded painting, charming and atmospheric 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.
