ECA notes:
– This might be the painting referred to as Late September but further visual proof would be needed.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, NY, “Art calendar : timely note and comment“, April 19, 1910, page 26.
“In pure oils is Late September, with pale trees, sunny foreground and, again, Mr. Carlsen’s ethereal sky, in which clouds seem to melt into the air.”
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Brooklyn, NY, “Fine arts.“, February 9, 1907, page 4.
“…Late September, by Emil Carlsen. For the latter the full light of day in the gallery is too powerful; it needs artificial or subdued light. It shows a great white cloud, shooting upward, yielding in the horizon to a tender purple, against which trees stand revealed, all harmonized in masterly way.”
