About this artist: Frederik Lund Ottesen studied at the University of Gettysburg, and later at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, where he won the school's most prestigious prize.

After a distinguished military career, Ottesen returned to France and became friends with Hans Hartung. At this time, he began to paint abstractions.
