About the Item

Olle Hjortzberg (Swedish, 1872-1959) Stilleben met gula rosor (Still life with yellow roses), 1946 Oil on Masonite Sight: 25-1/2 x 21-1/4 inches (64.8 x 54.0 cm) Framed: 35 X 30.25 X 2.5 Inches Signed and dated lower right: Olle Hjortzberg / 46 PROVENANCE: Fritzes Kings Court, Stockholm; Bukowskis, Stockholm, December 11, 2019, lot 527; Private collection, Ridgway, Colorado This exquisite still life with its blue-yellow color harmonies is an outstanding example from Stockholm-born artist-designer, Olle Hjortzberg. Initially trained by his father, a skilled watercolorist, Hjortzberg studied at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts. Following his marriage, he traveled extensively with his wife-first to Paris and Italy, then to Syria and Palestine where the vibrant environment of design and pattern had a profound influence on his own art. In addition to his work as an easel painter, Hjortzberg was a gifted muralist and designer of stained-glass windows, book bindings, posters, playing cards, commemorative stamps, and book illustrations. Notably, he Illustrated King Gustav V's Bible (1910-17) and the Swedish hymnal (1912); produced artwork for the Nobel Prize for Literature (1912, 1912, 1928-30); and designed the poster for the Stockholm Olympic Games (1912). He served as Professor of Drawing at the Royal Academy of Stockholm from 1911-37. In 1945, Hjortzberg was awarded the Prins Eugen Medal for his artistic achievements. Condition: Very Good.

  • Vanitas
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    Oil on panel, signed and dated 2000. Unframed size: 15.7 inches high x 23.6 inches wide x 0.25 inches deep. Sold unframed. Reverse side with older, faded Eyckmans' painting and artist's label. Created in 2000, and much inspired by the Old Masters, this painting combines many “vanitas” symbols—reminders that change and death are inevitable. The skull, aging books, extinguished candle, fallen cup, and stopped watch are beautifully composed in close-up, utilizing a minimum of negative space. One can see the fuzzy and unrecognizable reflection of the painter, quite rare for him, in the silver incense holder. Note the complex composition, the strong use of chiaroscuro, and the masterful depiction of the human skull, the threads of the unravelling books, and the smoke of the candle. Please note that the last photo is of the reverse side of the painting, indicating that the panel was reused. Unlike Stefaan’s other works, this painting is sold unframed. This painting is available for viewing at The Elemental Garden...

  • Still Life with Plums
    Located in Woodbury, CT
    Oil on panel, signed and dated 2009. French handmade wooden Delf frame, red bolus ground with gold leaf. Unframed size: 11.8 inches high x 19.7 inches wide. Framed size: 21.3 inches high x 29.1 inches wide x 1.25 inches deep. Sold framed. This striking and animated combination of plums with a 15th Century earthenware bowl placed atop a worn plank table hearkens back to the Old Masters while remaining present-day through its geometric composition and use of negative space. Chosen for the pictorial qualities…their shape, color, scale, and satiny skin, a true representation of plums is difficult to capture, as their essence changes and degrades in a matter of hours. As such, the artist focused on including their essential details in the first layer, a practice that is unusual for him. Note the exceptional detailing in the fine variations of color and shape of the fruit, particularly the stems, and the progressive feel attained through the balance of light and color. This painting is available for viewing at The Elemental Garden in Woodbury, CT, the exclusive U.S. representative for the artist. Stefaan...
