Elna Heiberg Bendixen or Bendixsen (Danish, 1887-1959) oil on canvas painting depicting three figures in a tropical landscape setting. Signed lower right. Stained molded wooden frame. Sight: 24" H x 19" W. Framed: 26" H x 21" W. Biography: "Danish born artist Elna Bendixsen painted and drew exotic motifs from the jungle world of the Orient and the life of the native population. Stylistically, she was influenced by Cubism, but also to some extent by Oriental art. With technical skill, the works reproduce the distinctive light that reigns at the bottom of the deep tropical forests, a light that obliterates normal European concepts of spatiality and perspective. Both this light and the colors, condensed and yet transparent, help to give the works a stylized, flat-toned character." Source: Kunstindeks Danmark (Danish Art Index).

The estate of Dr. Thomas Bechtel, Memphis, Tennessee.
