Opstilling 1916 - 1920

"Opstilling" (Arrangement), a 1916-1920 drawing by Harald Giersing, depicts a simple still life of a bottle and a bowl on a table. Executed in pencil on paper, the work showcases Giersing’s signature style characterized by loose, gestural lines and a focus on form and volume. The composition is minimalistic, with the objects arranged in a casual manner, hinting at a fleeting moment captured in time. Giersing was known for his exploration of everyday objects, using them as subjects to examine the nature of perception and artistic expression. This work is a testament to his mastery of drawing, capturing the essence of his subjects with both simplicity and depth. The piece currently resides in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, Denmark.
