We note a portrait by Conrad Stonor Werner of a little boy. He is sitting cross legged facing the viewer and looking intently out of the picture. The colors are dark with a few bright red reflections. He is a listed Danish artist. Werner graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Art in 1918. He spent the years 1919-23 in Italy and Paris where he was influenced by contemporary art. In 1921-23 he exhibited at the Salon in Paris and he became a regular exhibitor at the exhibitions on Charlottenborg in Copenhagen. His subjects include both landscapes, still-lives and portraits often inspired by French portrait art. From the 1930s his works show much influence from Scandinavian modernism. Werner was a remarkably skilled colorist and the color surfaces of his paintings are always carefully composed. Erner painted from the 1920s to the 1960s and ammassed an extensive oprivate collection. Werner did not sell his paintings and the collection forms the major part of his work. I can't say I am very impressed with his work, but it is a psrt of art history.
