ART HAS BECOME ABSTRACT

Nineteen fifty-nine – The summer in which documenta founder Arnold Bode and art historian Werner Haftmann make their dream of an exhibition in Kassel a reality for the second time. Among the exhibited works are examples of Mortensen's groundbreaking silkscreens - among these the enigmatic Sirmione Bleu from 1955.

The best way to train your eye is by looking and touching - in real life that is. It's the essens of connoisseurship. So...drop by, have a seat and peruse the boxes containing some thousand prints and drawings from early 1800 to late 1900.

On the cabinet a work by a Jette Thyssen, a Danish artist affiliated with Atelier 17. A new highly interesting research project was launched this summer by Lotta Granqvist .granqvist at Stockholm University:

"Scandinavian Women Artists at Atelier 17. Artistic Practices, Collective Processes, and Transnational Networks, 1950–1970".

Five women artists constitute the empirical foundation of the study: Inger Sitter (1929–2015) and Anne Breivik (1932–2012) from Norway; Brita Molin (1919–2008) and Joy Egnel (1920–2001) from Sweden and Jette Thyssen (1933-2024) from Denmark. All were active at Atelier 17 in Paris between 1950 and 1970.

In the window this week

Hugo Gehlin (1889-1953)
A young woman moved by the scent of a flower. 1915
Woodcut
Edition of 15

The Swedish painter and printmaker, Hugo Gehlin, stayed in Copenhagen from 1915-1920. Here he moved in the avant-garde circles of his compatriot Otto Sköld and the prolific Axel Salto. In 1916 he participated in "Svenska Konstutställingen Charlottenborg Nov.-Dec.1916". All ten entries were woodcuts, three of which were labeled as "Dekorationer til Tagores Örtagårdsmästeren". "The Gardener" was published 1913 by the Bengali poet and Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861-1941) - a collection of lyrical poems focusing on earthly love, human youth, longing, and nature, contrasting with the spiritual themes of his earlier work Gitanjali (for which he received the Nobel Prize). 
There is no catalogue raisonné on Gehlin. The woodcut with the woman moved by the scent of the flower is certainly part of a larger series - and most likely The Gardener. In 1915 Gehlin and Sköld exhibited at Akademiska Föreningens Huset in Lund. In a glass negative from the estate of Hugo Gehlin, held at Helsingborg Museum, the artist is seen seated below a series of woodcuts (with accompanying texts)- among them the A young women moved by the scent of a flower. 

Anyone out there with a catalogue or material from the 1915 exhibition? Or perhaps the 1922 publication printed in Poland?

Marie Laurencin took private classes at l’Academie Humbert in Paris 1904. Here, she met Francis Picabia, and more importantly Georges Braque, who introduced her to Pablo Picasso and members of his circle. A regular at the Bateau-Lavoir, she was romantically involved with the writer Guillaume Apollinaire between 1907 and 1912. Laurencin regularly exhibited with the Cubists.

Represented by the dealer Paul Rosenberg in Paris since 1913, and by Alfred Flechtheim in Berlin, she exhibited regularly, sold many pieces, and received numerous commissions including Portrait de Mlle Chanel (Musée de l’Orangerie, Paris, 1923) - second image. Her paintings, which mostly represents young adolescents, women, and children, are imprinted with a grace considered entirely feminine. With pastel tints, and delicate features, she created an idealized figure of femininity. Her paintings of women were representative of the liberated woman of the 1920s. Le***an overtones were not absent from her work or life. 
From 1933 Laurencin taught at l’Académie du XVIe in Paris, founded by Jean Émile Laboureur. Throughout her life she created more than 300 prints and illustrated several books.

BENGT ORUP (1916-1996)
No title. C. 1949
Linocut
Edition of 100
Original framed DKK. 2.500,00

Bengt Orup was one of the pioneers of post-war modernism in Sweden, educated from 1933-38 at Otte Sköld's painting school in Stockholm and the Grande Chaumièr and Colarossi academies in Paris. 

During the late 1940s and early 1950s, Orup created series of concrete works with a refined, simple play between geometric shapes and strong contrasts. Today's linocut is a fine example from this period.

Last image is from Paris 1947. Orup and the poet Gunnar Ekelöf in front of the studio of Comtesse Belloni (Siri Rathsmann)
