Karl Larsen
'Still Life with Teapot', Salon d'Automne, Paris, Danish Post-Impressionist oil

Circa 1950

About the Item

Painted circa 1950 by Karl Larsen (Danish, 1897-1977) and with certification and seal of of authenticity stamped verso. From 1917, Karl Larsen participated in numerous exhibitions in France and Denmark including the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition (1919-20), the Salon d'Automne, Paris (1922) and the Scandinavian-French exhibition at Maison Watteau, Paris (1923). Larsen's name is strongly linked with the avant-garde group, 'The Four', (Larsen, Lundstrom, Axel Salto, Johansen) which represented the cutting-edge of Scandinavian Modernism in the 1920's and introduced the principles of Post-Impressionism to Denmark. With the help of scholarships, (Stoltenberg, 1921 and Zach. Jacobsen, 1924), Larsen remained in Paris, studying and painting from 1923-27. In 1926, he received the Academy Fellowship and, in 1929, was awarded the Vilhelm Pacht studio apartment for life which enabled him thenceforth to continue painting without concern for public approval. In his later years, Larsen was also sought after as a portrait painter. He also mastered and taught other media including sculpture, graphics, marquetry, mosaic and stained glass. Karl Larsen is among the most prominent of Denmark's early-20th-century Modernists and his work may be found in the permanent collections of numerous national 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 dramatic and lyrical still-life by this well-listed Danish Modernist. Reference: E.
