Otto Gustaf Carlsund Opérateur brun Pastel crayon, gouache, and India ink over pencil drawing on smooth paper. 42 x 17.9 cm (depiction) resp. 43.6 x 27 cm. Framed under glass. Monogrammed and dated 'o.c.26' in India ink lower right. - The composition outlined in pencil. In fine condition. Provenance Formerly from the collection of Amédée Ozenfant; Delerge Collection, Cannes; European private collection After beginning his artistic education in Dresden, the Swedish painter and art critic Otto Carlsund moved to Paris in 1924, where he studied under Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant at the newly founded Académie Moderne. On the back of his first successes, Carlsund was as early as 1926 invited by Katherine Dreier and the “Société Anonyme” to participate in the “International Exhibition of Modern Art” in New York. In 1929 he joined Theo van Doesburg, Jean Hélion and Léon Tutundjian in founding the artists group and magazine “Art Concret” in Paris. The title makes direct reference to the idea of “concrete art” formulated by Theo van Doesburg in 1924, the abstraction of which does not derive from the manifestations of nature, but rather aims to materialize the spiritual. Carlsund's creative work, which includes not only panel painting but also large-format wall paintings and interior design, is considered a synthesis of Ozenfant's purism, the Constructivist ideas of van Doesburg and the Neo-Plasticism of Piet Mondrian. His clearly constructed geometrical (or as in the case of our work, machine-like) compositions are milestones in Scandinavian avant-garde art and were extremely well received in Carlsund's homeland of Sweden as early as 1947 in a major retrospective.Otto Gustaf Carlsund Opérateur brun Pastellkreide, Gouache und Tusche über Bleistiftzeichnung auf glattem Papier. 42 x 17,9 cm (Darstellung) bzw. 43,6 x 27 cm. Unter Glas gerahmt. Unten rechts mit Tusche monogrammiert und datiert 'o.c.26'. - Die Komposition mit Bleistift linear umrissen. In guter Erhaltung. Provenienz Ehemals aus der Sammlung von Amédée Ozenfant; Sammlung Delerge, Cannes; Europäische Privatsammlung Nachdem er seine künstlerische Ausbildung in Dresden begonnen hatte, übersiedelt der schwedische Maler und Kunstkritiker Otto Carlsund 1924 nach Paris, wo er unter Fernand Léger und Amédée Ozenfant an der neu gegründeten Académie Moderne studiert. Carlsund feiert früh Erfolge und wird schon 1926 von Katherine Dreier und der „Société Anonyme“ zur Teilnahme an der „International Exhibition of Modern Art“ nach New York eingeladen. 1929 gründet er zusammen mit Theo van Doesburg, Jean Hélion und Léon Tutundjian in Paris die Künstlergruppe und die Zeitschrift „Art Concret“. Ihr Titel nimmt unmittelbar Bezug auf die von Theo van Doesburg bereits 1924 formulierten Ideen der Konkreten Kunst, deren Abstraktion sich nicht von den Erscheinungen der Natur ableitet, sondern das Geistige materialisieren soll. Carlsunds künstlerisches Werk, zu dem nicht nur Tafelwerke, sondern auch großformatige Wandgemälde und Raumgestaltungen zählen, versteht sich als Synthese von Ozenfants Purismus, den konstruktiven Ideen van Doesburgs sowie dem Neoplastizismus von Piet Mondrian. Seine klar konstruierten geometrischen - oder wie im Falle unseres Werkes maschinenartigen - Kompositionen sind Meilensteine der skandinavischen Avantgarde und fanden in Carlsunds Heimat Schweden bereits 1947 mit einer großen Retrospektive Würdigung. - - - 24.00 % buyer's premium on the hammer price (20.00 % on the part of the hammer price exceeding 400,001 EUR) 19.00 % VAT on buyer's premium and other charges; not indicated and not reclaimable; VAT margin scheme
