Janvier 1961 -- Richard Mortensen (Kopenhagen 1910-1993 ibid.), dänischer Maler, einer der bedeutendsten dänischen Künstler des 20. Jahrhunderts. "Anfang der dreißiger Jahre wurde Mortensen von den Werken von Wassily Kandinsky beeinflusst. Seine Kunst dieser Zeit zeigt einen Ausdruck, der an Kandinskys abstrakte als auch an seine surrealistische Formensprache anknüpft. [.] Mortensens Kunst hat später einen spontan-expressionistischen Charakter. Seine noch späteren Bilder zeichnen sich durch große, klare, leuchtende Farbenflächen aus, die - gegeneinander gesetzt - den Raum des Gemäldes bilden." (de-academic com, online) / "Danish painter whose large, colouristic compositions of the 1930s were the first important abstract works in Danish art. [.] n 1932 he first saw Wassily Kandinsky?s paintings in Berlin, which influenced him to introduce abstraction into his own work. He was also interested in the work of Surrealist artists such as Salvador Dalí, and in the mid-1930s he combined abstract compositions with incongruous, naturalistically painted elements. [.] Mortensen?s paintings became increasingly expressive and violent during World War II. In 1947 he moved to Paris, where he painted in a purely abstract style. Mortensen remained committed to geometric abstraction, conveying through vivid colour and lively rhythm a sense of spontaneity within hard-edged structure. He also designed tapestries and stage settings." (britannica com, online). - Sprache: fr, de.
