Viggo Rorup
'Spring Landscape', Paris, Modernist Oil, Danish Royal Academy, Charlottenborg

1966

About the Item

Signed lower right, 'V. Rorup' for Viggo Julius Rorup (Danish, 1903-1971) and dated 1966. A large and lyrical spring landscape showing white apple-blossoms contrasted against a coral field with a view towards sunset clouds in the distance. Viggo Rorup was still a student at the Royal Danish Academy when he made his 1928 debut at the Salon of the Charlottenborg Palace. Following his graduation in 1930, he moved to Odsherred, where he continued his studies under Karl Bovin. Together, they founded the avant-garde group, The Corner, which first introduced the principles of European Modernism to Danish painting. Rorup traveled and studied widely, including to Italy, Austria, Spain, and, most importantly, to France, where his exposure to the work of both the Impressionists and the Post-Impressionists was influential in the development of his later work. As Rorup continued to paint in the south of France, his palette grew lighter and brighter and the earlier, more defined, contours of his forms became subsumed into scintillating nuances of light.
