Ruth Weber (b. Jægerspris 1895, d. 1977)
Scenery from a city. Signed Ruth Weber, 1940. Oil on canvas. 82×74 cm.
Ruth Weber is a painter and creates many works with compositions of urban motifs, portraits, landscapes and figure images. Common traits in her stylistic expression are the pastose brushstrokes and the use of dark contours that surround her motifs. This is also evident in the vibrant city scape here. Weber is a student of Niels Hansen and attends an artist school in Copenhagen.
Weber is an artist, whom not much has been written about, and she is therefore an example of a woman who has largely been overlooked in Danish art historical contexts.
The canvas needs tightening. In need of a light surface cleaning. Crackles and peelings. Some minor holes in the canvas. A scratch on the left side.
