Carl Schmitt
Ducks, A still life teacups and objects

circa 1973

About the Item

In Ducks in the Studio Schmitt reveals the influence of the Impressionists and the Pointillists by adopting their bright and pure colors. However, he chose not to paint with small dots but rather through small staple type dots and layers of color that built form and endowed substance and solidity to his figures and shapes. His adaption of different colors and the flattening of his canvas through the elimination of shadows resulted in a new lyricism. Would be lovely in a dining room or study - sensational quality and in the manner of Emil Carlsen. Acquired from the artist, exhibited Wilton Ct. in 1987
