Arne Kavli
Landscape with Woman in Red

About the Item

Signed lower left. A blond woman clad in a red blouse and skirt sits atop a blue blanket at the top of a set of stairs leading to a garden at the edge of a large body of water, with wooded hills in the distant background. Her back is turned from the viewer, her left hand and arm supporting her from behind as she gazes out beyond, her face hidden and sheltered from the sun by a straw hat. Arne Kavli was born 27 May, 1878 in Bergen, and received his first restricted initiation into the world of artistic expression at the Technical School in his native city, afterward studying in Copenhagen under Peder Kroyer (see askART), at the Antwerp Academy, and in Paris. The son of a well known actor, it is not unnatural that Kavli should from the outset have excelled in the province of character interpretation and portraiture. His debut was made at the Bergen Kunstforening in 1895, since which date his efforts have been attended with no little success and have seldom failed to enlist the most discriminating interest and appreciation. It was toward the subtle, almost monochromatic harmonies of Whistler and the sober, decorative vision of William Nicholson (see askART) that Kavli first turned for sympathetic assistance, achieving at this period effects that were not alone imitative but at times even inspirational. Of late, however, his eyes have been cast in the direction of Paris, and more especially attracted by the violet grey clarity and broad, expressive contour of Cezanne. Yet Kavli's recent landscapes from West Norway and the Christiania Fjord are no more lacking in individuality than were the early portraits and figure compositions. Credit: askart

    David Solot, a dentist and painter, was born in Falciu (Romania) and settled in Paris in 1928. His art was surrealistic dentally inspired plus portraits and city landscapes. **************************** Translated from an article by Luana Hrisanti Rigot: "In 1956, at the Charlotte Norberg Gallery (Paris), he presented his first personal exhibition, composed of an ensemble of surrealist paintings of professional inspiration (dental elements). Two years later, at Gallery Royale (Rochefort), he exhibits another 50 paintings on the subject. At that time, a decisive event for the painter David Solot was made: a great new-York-born antibiotic producer Lederle Cy learns about his work and contacts him through the US Ambassador to Paris, proposing an advertising contract and buying the reproduction right for 24 of its canvases. A year later, the same company bought the right to print three of its cloths in color. This was the starting point of his international notoriety. In 1959, the American Dental...
