Richard Mortensen – Louisiana (1970) Sale price$59.00

Exhibition poster with work by the Danish artist, Richard Mortensen, (1910 - 1993), from the exhibition at Louisiana in 1970. Mortensen is among the most significant Danish artists of the 20th century and Louisiana's exhibition showed his efforts for 20th century non-figurative art from the early 1950s up to his 60th birthday in 1970 - the same year as the exhibition.

Richard Mortensen was crucial to the development of abstract painting in Denmark and also worked with graphics. In 1933-34 he formed the abstract-surrealist group, Linien, together with Ejler Bille and Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen, who were instrumental in introducing surrealism to Denmark.

In 1947, Richard Mortensen traveled to Paris with the sculptor Robert Jacobsen, where they worked at the Parisian Gallerie Denise René, along with a number of other artists, around a constructivist, abstract expression. The later works are inspired by Zen Buddhism, among other things.

Richard Morten received several honors for his art.
