About the Item

Initialed lower left, 'A.S.' for Anton Schroder (Danish, 1893-1965) and dated 1953. A substantial, modernist oil painting of a young woman, shown seated and gazing to her left with an expression of gentle amusement. Anton Schroder first studied at the Kolding Technical School before attending the Copenhagen Royal Art Academy (1916-1920). He was the recipient of several prestigious scholarships, including the Carlsen Prize (1926) and the Bielke Prize (1928), that allowed him to travel and continue his studies abroad, including in Paris, Munich, Dresden, Norway and Belgium. Over the course of a long career, Schroder exhibited widely and with success, including at the Charlottenborg Museum (1921), the Brooklyn Museum (1927), The Art Forum (1929) and, on many occasions, at Copenhagen's Royal Academy. In addition to his work as an easel painter of subjects that included landscapes, still-lives and figurative paintings, Schroder was a sought-after portraitist and print-maker and also received numerous state commissions for large-scale public murals and frescoes. We are pleased to offer this light-hearted, yet psychologically penetrating, portrait of a young woman, painted when the artist was sixty-one years old.

Woman in Blue , Nuremberg, Nahuel Huapi region, Argentina
Located in Santa Cruz, CA
Signed lower right, 'H. Lauer' for Hans Lauer, (Argentine-German, 1902-1989) and dated 1965. Hans Lauer emerges as a sympathetic chronicler of Patagonian light, a German-born landscapist who made Argentina his country and Bariloche his enduring motif. Born in Nuremberg in 1902, he emigrated to Argentina in 1920 and fixed his practice in the Nahuel Huapi region, painting the blue-white atmospheres of the lake basin and the sheltering stands of native forest with a direct, self-taught hand; he remained rooted there until his death in Bariloche in 1989. Contemporary reports place him working across northern Patagonia—San Martín de los Andes among his circuits—where he translated the temperate Andean palette into sober oils and watercolors keyed to weather and season rather than to metropolitan fashions. Autodidact by formation, he belongs to that émigré cohort who stitched European discipline to local terrain, and by the 1950s–60s his production reflects an assured, observational plein-air habit that privileges structure over effect. While Bariloche provided the studio and the subject, his name also circulates in Buenos Aires contexts through collectors and dealers who sought Patagonian views during the mid-century tourism boom, an afterlife that helped keep his vistas in the market even as he remained geographically anchored to the south. Within the regional history of Argentine painting...
