"Portrait of an Elegant Woman," oil painting on wood signed lower right and dedicated to Madame Merlet.

"In the past I worked on light and shadow effects. Now I paint exclusively for unusual effects and color harmonies." It is with these words that Martin Borgord, a Norwegian-born but naturalized American painter, interviewed by a journalist from the Hartford Courant, explains our painting.Straddling the line between Impressionism and Expressionism, the elegant lady loses the sharpness of detail, blending with light and color in quick, dense brushstrokes.
Excellent state of preservation.Presented in antique carved and silvered wooden frame. It has a regular Fine Arts export certificate.

BIOGRAPHY
Martin Borgord was born February 8, 1869, in Guasdal, Norway, and died March 25, 1935, in Riverside, California.
At the age of 16, Borgord resided in San Francisco and enrolled to study with Virgil Macey Williams (1830-1886) at the San Francisco Art Association School of Design. Interested in both painting and sculpture, Borgord will go to Paris.

In 1899, influential art dealer William Macbeth, dedicated to the cause of promoting American art, represented Borgord in New York.With his friend and fellow artist William Henry Singer (son of steel magnate William Singer), he settled, at the end of the 19th century, in Laren, Netherlands, a small town where many artists of the Hague school, influenced by French art The Impressionists, who left to experiment fully with painting, welcomed a large number of American artists into their studio, including, among others, Henry Ward Ranger, William Henry Howe, Amy Cross, Charles Gruppe, Walter Castle Keith, and Joseph Raphael.
Borgord returned to the United States to become director of the Carnegie Institute of Art and the Allegheny (Pennsylvania) School of Painting, but would continue to maintain a part-time studio in Holland.
