Karl Larsen
'Still Life with Blue Bottle', Paris, Salon d'Automne, Danish Post-Impressionist

1968

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'Karl Larsen' (Danish, 1897-1977) and dated 1968. A substantial and vibrant Post-Impressionist oil still-life by this well-listed Danish modernist, winner of the Academy Fellowship and founding member of 'The Four' whose work is held in the permanent collection of both Denmark's National Gallery and National Museum of Art. From 1917, Karl Larsen exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris and, later, at Maison Watteau. He was also a frequent exhibitor in Denmark, including at the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibitions in Copenhagen. With the help of scholarships, (Stoltenberg 1921; Zach Jacobsen 1924), Larsen remained in Paris studying and painting from 1923-27. In 1926, he received the Academy Fellowship and, in 1929, the Vilhelm Pacht studio apartment for life which subsequently enabled him to paint without concern for public approval. In his later years, Larsen was sought after as a portrait painter. He also mastered and taught other media including sculpture, graphics, marquetry, mosaic and stained glass. His name is strongly linked with 'The Four', the avant-garde group that represented the cutting-edge of early Modernism in 1920's Denmark. Karl Larsen is listed in Benezit and his work is held in the permanent collections of numerous museums including the National Museum of Art, The Museum of Art and Design and the National Gallery in Oslo. We are pleased to offer a large and lyrical, late-period work by this notable European Modernist.

  • 'Still Life of Daffodils', Paris Modernist, Royal Danish Academy, Charlottenborg
    By Viggo Rorup
    Located in Santa Cruz, CA
    Signed lower right, 'V. Rorup' for Viggo Julius Rorup (Danish, 1903-1971) and dated 1963. Exhibited: 'Copenhagen Art Association Exhibition, 1964', from exhibition stamp, verso, on stretcher bar. A substantial and vibrant Post-Impressionist still-life showing a profusion of fresh-cut daffodils informally arranged in a jade-green vase and set on a table in a sitting-room. Viggo Rorup was still a student at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts when he made his 1928 debut at the Charlottenborg Palace. Following his graduation in 1930, he moved to Odsherred, where he continued his studies under Karl Bovin. Together, they founded the avante-garde group of artists named The Corner, which first introduced the principles of European Modernism to Danish painting. Rorup traveled widely, including to Italy, Austria, Spain, and, most importantly, to France, where his studies of the Impressionists and the Post-Impressionists had a great stylistic impact on his later work. As Rorup continued to paint in the south of France, his palette grew brighter and the earlier, more defined, contours of his forms became subsumed into scintillating nuances of light. We are pleased to offer this elegant and dazzling still-life from the artist's late period.
