Dirk Filarski (Amsterdam 1885 - Zeist 1964) Les Dents du Midi Signed and dated 16 lower right Titled and numbered 233 on the reverse Titled on the stretcher Oil on canvas, 50.6 x 65.7 cm Provenance: - Collection Piet Boendermaker, Amsterdam/Bergen, inv. no. 529 (label on the reverse) - V&D, The Hague, 1946 - Acquired at the above by the parents of the present owner Literature: P. Spijk, De Bergense school en Piet Boendermaker: kunstverzamelaar in Amsterdam en Bergen, Waanders, Zwolle, 1997, no. 529, p. 251 Note: Filarski stayed in Switzerland and Italy (Lago Maggiore) for extended periods between 1912 and 1917. Filarski arrived in Davos at the end of August 1916, carrying only a toothbrush as his luggage. During this period, Filarski swapped Impressionism for a more modern and abstract style. This work clearly shows Filarski's transitional period: a modern abstraction in the foreground contrasts the predominantly Impressionistic mountain mass in the background.
