Poul Møller
Danish Mid-Century Colourfield Oil on Board of Houses in a Coastal Scene.
1976

About the Item

Danish oil on board covered in a coarse canvas. A painting of houses in a coastal landscape by Poul Møller. The painting is signed PM and dated 76 to the bottom right and to the reverse there is a dated ticket and Møller's details (see photo). Presented in a plain wood frame. Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist atelier thence by descent. A charming view of a coastal landscape. The artist has beautifully captured the scale and mood of the scene. The eye is taken up an imposing headland and then is led down to a lively sea, waves crashing up against the shore. Møller as usual has used expanses of fields of colours in tones of blue and green. The simple shapes and tone on tone colours are very easy on the eye. A very calming, grounded painting, charming and atmospheric which draws the viewer in to another world. Poul Møller was a Danish artist with a focus on landscape paintings often in the same colour palette. He worked with simple, figurative compositions whose colour surfaces structure the motifs. Landscape paintings, layouts and figure pictures are often tightly composed. He was much influenced by his fellow Danish artists and contemporaries Immanuel Ibsen, Edvard Weie and Søren Hjort-Nielsen.. Much of their work developed from Expressionism in the early years and lead to the renewal of Danish landscape painting in the mid 20th Century.
