에밀 칼슨(Soren Emil Carlsen), 덴마크, 인상파 화가, 1848-1932
덴마크에서 태어나고 자란 '에밀 칼슨'은 20대 중반에 미국으로 이주한 인상파 화가입니다. 코펜하겐, 시카고, 파리, 뉴욕, 보스턴 등 여러 도시를 오가며 화가들과 교류를 가졌고, 특히 정물화에 고집스러운 애착을 가지고 발전시켰답니다.
그의 정물화 작품엔 곡선과 질감이 탁월합니다. 하지만 정물화는 판매가 잘 되지 않아 늘 가난하게 살았죠. 결국엔 주변의 권유에 못이겨 풍경화를 그리기 시작했습니다. 구불구불한 언덕과 나무, 구름을 파스텔톤으로 묘사했으며, 바다 그림이 많은 사랑을 받았습니다.
About Him
Emil Carlsen was born in Copenhagen on October 19, 1853. He studied architecture at the Danish Royal Academy between 1868 and 1872. He emigrated to America in 1872, settled in Chicago, and found work as an assistant to a local architect. For a time he also worked for a fellow Dane, the painter Lauritis Bernhard Holst (1848-1934). When Holst returned to Denmark in 1874, he turned his studio over to Carlsen, who had by this time decided to become a full-time painter. Upon the recommendation of the Chicago sculptor Leonard Wells Volk (1828-1895), Carlsen was appointed the first instructor at the newly formed school of the Art Institute.
In 1875 Carlsen returned briefly to Denmark and then went to Paris, where he stayed for six months. While there, he carefully studied the works of the eighteenth-century painter Jean Siméon Chardin (1699-1779). Returning to New York in 1875, the artist set up his own studio, but he had to supplement his meager income from painting by working as an engraver and designer. In 1879 financial difficulties forced him to hold an auction of thirty of his works, but the proceeds did not even cover the sale's expenses.
In the early 1880s Carlsen began to develop a reputation as a still-life painter. Commissioned by a dealer to paint saleable flower pieces, he returned to Paris in 1884, where he remained for two years, painting numerous brightly-colored pictures. Eventually, he grew tired of this repetitious work and broke the contract he had made with the dealer. Carlsen went back to New York and opened a studio on West 57th Street. He worked there until 1887, when he began a two-year tenure as director of the San Francisco Art Association's school. He resigned this post in 1889 but remained in San Francisco until 1891.
Carlsen again settled in New York in 1891 and began teaching at the National Academy of Design, where he would continue as an instructor until 1918. He was married in 1896 and numbered among his friends in New York William Merritt Chase, J. Alden Weir, and Childe Hassam. During the first three decades of the twentieth century his works were included in numerous exhibitions and he won many prizes. In 1911 he began an association with the New York dealer William Macbeth, and was given one-man shows at Macbeth's gallery in 1912, 1919, 1921 and 1923. Carlsen died in New York on January 2, 1932.
