Feb. 27, 2007--Johann Berthelsen painted New York City snowscenes again and again like he was reliving what it was like to be caught in themiddle.
Soaking wet. Drenched to the bone. Exhilarated and exhausted.
Berthelsen was a trained baritone who painted for 22 years in his spare time beforedevoting himself to art full-time. At the age of 49, in 1932, he made the leap.
Through daubs of color Berthelsen recreated snowy Impressionistic renderings ofWashington Square, 5th Ave., the Brooklyn Bridge, Columbia University and CentralPark.
Each one a jewel. Each one a snapshot of New York buried under a blanket of snow. Soeasy to picture these snowstorm oils hanging above a roaring fire. Safe insidesomewhere buried under an afghan.
Berthelsen captured the whiteout atmosphere of New York City in a way few othersdid. He basically painted what he saw all around him. His time-specific scenes,cityscapes, cars and trucks serve as time capsules of another era in history.
By the time Berthelsen started painting these sketch-like renderings in themid-1930Â's, Impressionism was accepted in America. People appreciated his modern-dayurban landscapes.
Studying BerthelsenÂ's work is difficult at times because although he signed hispaintings, he rarely, if ever, dated them.
That being said, itÂ's hard to miss this artistÂ's oils with their bright colors,glistening snowfalls and massive architectural backdrops. Working with smallcanvases, he captured big views.
On Oct. 26, ShannonÂ's in Greenwich, Conn., featured a selection of JohannBerthelsenÂ's paintings in its Fine American and European Paintings, Drawings andSculpture auction.
