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.
