Mogens Hertz
'Near Locranan, Brittany', Paris, Charlottenborg, Bornholm School, Benezit

Circa 1935

About the Item

Signed lower left, 'Mogens Hertz' (Danish, 1909-1999) and painted circa 1935. This notable Impressionist first studied with the classically-trained Academician, Laurits Ring and, subsequently, with the pioneering Danish Impressionist, Rostrup Boyesen. After an influential study trip to Paris in 1930, Hertz continued his formal studies at the Charlottenborg Academy before moving from Copenhagen to the idyllic countryside outside Gudhjem. There, he became a founding, and leading, member of the Bornholm School and his work came to exemplify the group's lyrical portrayal of landscapes, painted in a loose and painterly, Impressionist style that can often border on abstraction. From 1930-1941, Hertz traveled and studied widely, including in France, Holland, German, Norway and Sweden. He was the recipient of numerous prizes and juried awards including the August Schiøtt scholarship (1948) and the Frederik Sødring prize (1939). He also exhibited widely and with success including, for many years, at the Royal Danish Academy's Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition (from 1937), Sweden (1980), Bornholm Art Museum (1985) and the Vejen Art Museum (1983). Mogens Hertz is listed in all relevant art biographical reference works including Benezit. Reference: E.
