"Composition" (1952), an extraordinary museum-grade oil painting by the celebrated Danish modernist master Else Fischer-Hansen (1905-1996).

Measuring 85.5 x 67 cm, this signed canvas is elegantly presented in a smoked oak frame to highlight its organic textures.
The composition relies on intersecting geometric shapes and sweeping lyrical lines, reflecting the style that earned her international acclaim. It could be a scenery from Venice.

Fischer-Hansen's global significance is cemented by her recent inclusion in major exhibitions at London's Whitechapel Gallery and the Fondation Vincent van Gogh Arles.

This grest 1952 piece, also featured at Gammel Strand is a superb example of Fischer-Hansens 1950’s style.
