Soren Emil Carlsen is one of my more recent discoveries, and perhaps the first painter that inspired me with his still lifes. He is just incredible. There is a beautiful coastal painting of a wave that he did that is one of my favorite paintings ever and I look at it everyday in my screensaver along with my other favorites, including another still-life of his. I had not seen that moonlight ocean painting before, a new favorite, wow!!! I've never seen anything like it. I'm very saddened by how many talented, hard-working, incredibly skilled artists have struggled just to live.
Absolutely outstanding! Thank you for producing and sharing this. Carlsen’s work is among the greatest. Wish there were more books and resources available for study.
Admirable la exquisita sensibilidad cromática, el riquísimo tratamiento de la materia y la profunda emoción de sus humildes asuntos. Admirable the exquisite chromatic sensitivity, the exquisite treatment of the material and the deep emotion of its humble affairs.
While Emil's still lifes were nicely done, Dines, his son, was truly a brilliant painter. I used to study Dines 'The Jade Bowl' at the Indianapolis Art Museum, of all places, and am still impressed by how clean his lines were, especially at the edges of the copper plate. He learned great technique from his father, but took it much further to a masterful level of understanding and rendering tonal images with something of a drybrush, or scumble effect to add texture to the surfaces, especially the backgrounds. He also understood how to round edges, as in cups, small containers, etc. without sacrificing proper perspective, as seen so often in modern still lifes. And the placement of simple elements in what feels like a natural composition, is consistent with his polished work. Well worth a trip if you haven't seen the original, or others at various museums in the US.
Impressive still lifes betraying the influence of Chardin and Van OS...his , less known , landscapes , however , have not the same pictorial power and are left as if unfinished...

I love Emil Calsen's paintings. So much vibrating colour, they're like a dream
His paintings really are timeless.

Thank you 😊
Amo la pintura 🎨🤗
... a necessary presentation... elegant and eloquent... it's a shame that it's missing the large still-life on permanent view at the Salmagundi...
