A pioneer in abstract art in Copenhagen, this Mogens Andersen work of art is a classic representation of his work with dark colors dominating against a white background but incorporating subtle bright colors. In 1998 one of his pieces was reproduced for a Danish stamp. This particular signed lithograph was in the collection of the Danish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Painter, graphic artist, ceramist and writer, Mogens Andersen (1916-2003) was born in Copenhagen. After the Second World War, Andersen was one of the pioneers in Danish abstract art. He lived in France in the years 1959-65, where he taught at l’Académie de la Grande Chaumiere in Paris. He found inspiration in the art of Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse and Georges Braque.
His paintings are mostly characterized by dark, decorative abstract drawings painted with large, rough strokes. Despite black and very dark colors being predominant, there is something very amiable about the effortless, almost playful strokes. less
