About the Item
SALE ONE WEEK ONLY
“Benedicte Olrik” is the portrait of Benedicte Olrik the 18 year-old daughter of another famous artist, Ole Henrik Benedictus Olrik (1830 – 1890) and future wife of 20th century Danish architect Carl Brummer. This is an intimate portrait of a young woman seated in a relaxed position holding her place in a book she may have been reading. Her hair is slightly loose and wispy giving a soft halo around her face which looks frankly at the viewer as though she has just been spoken to. Although set in an outdoor scene, it might just as well have been set in the quiet of her own library. Her simple black dress is decorated around the neck, waist and cuffs with colorful embroidery. Since Pendersen was also known for his landscapes it seems likely that he combined two favorite subjects within this one piece.
Viggo Christian Frederik Vilhelm Pedersen was born in Copenhagen in 1854. He was born into a family of artists. From 1871 to 1878, he attended the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His work was decisively influenced by the close contact with P.C. Skovgaard and J. la Cour. Pedersen undertook study trips and traveled through Europe before finally staying in Munich for some time. Pedersen was close with the Olrik family, having studied under Benedicte's father Henrik Olrik, who also painted Benedicte as a young girl alongside her mother, and subsequently training another daughter of his, Dagmar Olrik, who was a painter and tapestry artist in her own right who was most known for decorating a part of Copenhagen's City Hall with tapestries of Lorenz Frølich's Nordic mythology. He painted naturalistic landscapes and brightly colored figure paintings. His paintings are in major art museums in Copenhagen, Stockholm and Helsinki.
Unframed the piece measures 33.75"h x 21"w.

- "Joe Louis" Oil on Board with Mixed Media, Iconic Portrait, African AmericanBy Henry HeadingLocated in Detroit, MI“Joe Louis” is a breathtakingly beautiful portrait of a man who was the best in his profession yet humble in his demeanor. Louis was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential boxers of all time. He reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1937 until his temporary retirement in 1949. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses, a record for all weight classes. Louis had the longest single reign as champion of any boxer in history. He is widely regarded as the first person of African-American descent to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II because of his historic rematch with German Boxer Max Schmeling in 1938. He was instrumental in integrating the game of golf, breaking the sport's color barrier in America by appearing under a sponsor's exemption in a PGA event in 1952. The artist, Henry Heading...Category

- "Muse of Mystery", Encaustic, Oil, and Paper on WoodLocated in Detroit, MICelebrating our common colors as well as our diversity is Linden Godlove’s latest series of encaustics, “The Muses.” The paintings are modeled after icons, with a direct gaze that hearkens a response to their spirit, to find company in their character. This particular piece is the "Muse of Mystery" and is part of a set of nine that are sold separately from one another. Encaustic painting is an ancient art form (some early icons are encaustic), where hot wax is mixed with pigment and resin, and painted while liquid. Throughout the process, everything is repeatedly fused with fire and sometimes things melt in an unintended direction. Linden’s process involves repeatedly carving parts out and filling them back in, so the works are splayed out in a loose application of hot liquid, then cut back, then washed over with brushes of hot wax again. It’s a combination of chaos and control. The series draws inspiration from women all over the globe, as originally photographed by Mihaela Noroc for her book The Atlas of Beauty. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will go towards her project. While internationally influenced, the pieces were painted, scraped, and carved at the artist’s hundred year old Detroit...Category
