About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Ib Eisner' (Danish, 1925-2003) and dated, lower right, 1953. Displayed in a period, carved gilt-wood frame. Framed dimensions: 19 x 21.5 x 1.5 inches. A lyrical, mid-century Post-Impressionist oil still-life showing a view of apples in a blue-and-white porcelain bowl set beside a handful of pink dog-roses loosely arranged in a cobalt vase and set on an aqua-striped tablecloth. This well-listed Danish Modernist, and 1948 winner of the Wilstrup Scholarship, first studied at the Copenhagen Academy of Arts under Kræsten Iversen and Axel Jørgensen. Eisner later continued his studies in Paris and London and he became known both for his elegantly powerful still-lives and for dynamic figural works, often painted against the background of Copenhagen's Tivoli Gardens. Eisner worked mostly in picture series to more fully explore nuanced changes of lighting moods and seasons. French Impressionist thematic and compositional techniques are noticeable, not only in his preferred method of plein-air painting, which the artist applied in all weather conditions, but also in the treatment and application of color. Eisner applied pure, mostly unmixed, colors next to each other in quick brushstrokes, creating a vibrant structure of bright tones and developing an original picture-intrinsic dynamic. He painted mostly without fixed contour lines or preparatory drawings, since the necessary capturing of the desired, elusive light effects required a consistently rapid and intuitive application of pigment. Over the course of a long career, Eisner exhibited both domestically and internationally with success, including in Japan, France, Germany and England where he was the recipient of numerous medals, prizes and juried awards. We are pleased to offer an exceptional work from Eisner's early period, painted when the artist was twenty-eight years old.
