Carla Colsmann Mohr
“Copenhagen seen from Amager”

1913

About the Item

This early 20th-century oil painting by Danish artist Carla Colsmann Mohr (1887-1974) depicts a view from Amager towards the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was exhibited at the prestigious Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition in 1913. Overall condition of the painting is very good. Signed lower right and dated 1913. Original frame in good condition. Overall framed measurements are 33.5 by 44 inches. Provenance: A Water Mill, New York collector. The painting is executed in a post-impressionistic style with her loose brushwork, emphasis on color and flat appearance. Her block like style in her use of color in the buildings of this landscape are one of her trademarks. Mohr was a fascinating artist who worked during an important time for female painters in Denmark. Training at a drawing school exclusively for women, she began her studies beset by obstacles relating to gender. Throughout her career, she championed women’s rights and pushed for a fairer deal for women in art. It’s a known fact that during the 19th and early 20th centuries, women would often receive less per painting than their male counterparts. Simply due to prejudice. Mohr’s role in challenging these perceptions was a vital part of her career.

    By Lucien Génin
    Located in Marlow, Buckinghamshire
    Signed oil on original canvas figures in landscape circa 1930 by French post impressionist painter Lucien Genin. The work is centred around the Porte Saint-Denis - a triumphal arch located in Paris, France. The street is bustling with city-goers and cars pass by the tall buildings painted in red, yellow and white. Signature: Signed lower left Dimensions: Framed: 27"x31" Unframed: 20"x24" Provenance: Private French collection Lucien Génin came from a family of stone-cutters. He first studied at the art school in Rouen, then in 1919 entered the École des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. He settled in Montmartre early in the 1920s, and in 1936 moved to the Latin Quarter. Although he had received a thorough training, he created his own completely spontaneous technique aiming at approaching his subjects with a fresh look. Beside a few views of Rouen, Lorient, Dinan and Villefranche-sur-Mer, Génin specialised in the popular theme of views of Paris. He worked swiftly, making rapid jottings, and thus could produce many paintings. At auction his pictures were sometimes sold in lots. He painted both in oils and in gouache. Lucien Génin showed work at the Salon d'Automne in 1926 and 1930. His work featured at the Marcel Aymé and the Painters exhibition, Galerie Roussard...
