About the Item

Victor Isbrand, 1897–1989 Greenlandic Scene with Women Carrying Coal, Upernavik, 1935 Oil on canvas, mounted in passepartout. Signed: V. Isbrand. In the summer of 1935, Danish painter Victor Isbrand traveled to Greenland together with his wife, the artist Oda Isbrand. On June 4, they sailed aboard the vessel Hans Egede to the Upernavik district, located on the northwest coast of Greenland. They returned on September 15, bringing with them a rich collection of sketches, studies, and impressions from the Arctic landscape and daily life. This particular painting, created during or shortly after the journey, captures a moment of local women transporting coal—an everyday scene reflecting the harsh yet resilient life in Greenland at the time.

Erik Hoppe, Søndermarken 1949, Oil on Canvas
Located in Kastrup, DK
Erik Hoppe 1896 - 1968, oil on canvas. Motive: Søndermarken 1949. Title: "Midday light". Dimensions without frame: 65 x 76. Incl. Frame D 3 W 87 H 77 cm Exhibited: Birchs kunsthandel 24/2 - 11/3 1951. Cat. No. 4. Reviewed by Pola Gauguin (catalogue foreword). Separate exhibition with "Reality and fable". Prov. private collection. Erik Hoppe (1896–1968) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his paintings from the Copenhagen area, especially those with young ladies in the park at Valby. Hoppe also mastered the effects of light and color. His earlier work is typified by greens and dull shades but later he produced compositions benefitting from bright sunlight. His style reflects the peculiarly Danish form of modernism, initially based on the sombre everyday-realism of around 1930.[1] Affinities with the work of Edvard Weie and Harald Giersing...
