Conrad Stonor Werner graduated from Copenhagen's Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1918 and spent the years 1919-1920 in Italy studying with Einar Utzon-Frank in Venice, Assisi and Rome. In 1921, Werner furthered his studies in Paris and, in 1922, moved to Vienna where he studied at the Kunstinstitut. In this period, he was influenced by Futurism and the Post-Impressionists. From 1921-1923, Werner exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Francais in Paris. He also became a regular exhibitor at the Charlottenborg Academy in Copenhagen. An outstanding colorist, his subjects include landscapes, still-lives and portraits, all with intuitive and expressive brushwork and an emphasis on texture. We are pleased to offer this exceptional and dramatic still-life which the artist has imbued with a spiritual and lyrical intensity.
