Landscape near Bistrup 1918

Harald Giersing made this landscape painting near Bistrup with oil on canvas. Look at how Giersing's laid down the paint, in these clear, structured marks that build the form of the land and sky. It's like he's showing us how to see, breaking down the scene into its essential shapes and colours. The blues and greens, they're not trying to trick you into thinking you're there, but instead highlighting the pure, material joy of paint. Notice the way the colours shift in those rolling hills. Each brushstroke feels deliberate, like a puzzle piece fitting into a larger whole. Then, there's that sky, a hazy blue that feels both distant and intimate. Looking at this piece, I’m reminded of Cezanne, another artist who wasn’t trying to copy the world, but create a new one with paint. What do you think? Does this painting offer you a fresh way of seeing the landscape?
