拍品专文

For Frederik Serger, born in Czechoslovakia, painting was a vocation: something to work on intensively to achieve satisfaction. During the mid 1930's he went to Paris and saw the exciting atmosphere of a creative art world. With his wife Helen, whom he married in 1927, he decided to leave Central Europe because of the war. After London and Panama, they finally arrived in New York in 1941. In 1947 Serger settled down in the artist's colony of Woodstock (NY). There he painted still lifes and landscapes with colours that expressed the harmony in nature. Serger has not followed trends in art, but it certainly can be seen that Serger was influenced by Marc Chagall.
