About the Item

The bold texture of this artwork engages the viewer. The textures Ottesen created are not as apparent until seem from close up. A subtle stunner. Framed this piece measures 29.25" x 37" x 1", and unframed it measures 28.5" x 36.25". 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. Arriving in Paris in 1938, Ottesen entered Georges Braque's atelier and exhibited with the Galerie des Quatre Chemins until the second world war. After a distinguished military career, Ottesen returned to France and became friends with Hans Hartung. At this time, he began to paint abstractions. He showed extensively throughout Europe in the 50s and 60s, and was affiliated with the prestigious Galerie Coard in Paris and Downtown Gallery in NY.
