George CatlinSelf Portrait of George Catlinc. 1821
c. 1821
About the Item
George Catlin was a 19th-century American artist, explorer, and advocate for Native American culture whose legacy is deeply intertwined with his iconic portraits and depictions of Native American tribes. A defining aspect of Catlin's work is his commitment to authenticity and respect for his subjects. He strove to capture not only their physical appearances but also their spiritual essence and cultural practices. His portraits are characterized by a keen attention to detail and a sensitivity to the individuality of each subject, reflecting his deep admiration for Native American traditions and values. This painting however, went beyond his skill for painting Native American portraits and ventured into a self portrait. This self portrait likely depicts him in his late 20s, dating the painting to the early 1820s. This shows his detail and precision in portraying the human expression and characteristics, while taking on such a familiar subject as himself. This painting comes in excellent condition with frame.

By Axel Bentzen
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Initialed upper right 'A.B.' for Axel Bentzen (Danish, 1893-1952) painted circa 1925.
Axel Bentzen studied art as a child and, by the age of 14, was copying Old Master paintings at Copenhagen's National Museum of Art. He traveled to Italy in 1919 and, from 1923-1939, spent every second year there or in Paris, painting and furthering his understanding of the principles of Modernism. Bentzen was the recipient of numerous scholarships including the prestigious Hielmstierne-Rosencrone scholarship which he was awarded twice (1925, 1927) and the Copenhagen Akademie scholarship which he received three times (1927, 1929, 1931). He exhibited internationally with success including, from 1922, at the Charlottenborg as well as at prominent salons in Paris, Berlin, Venice, Budapest, Riga and Belgrade. The artist is listed in all relevant art reference works including both Benezit's Dictionary of Artists and Thieme-Becker's Kunstlexikon (Vollmer Supplement). We are pleased to offer this dramatic and psychologically penetrating oil study of a young man dating to circa 1925.
