Composition by Mikael Pasternak
About the Item
Composition by Mikael Pasternak, 1920.
Gouache on Paper, 62 x 51 cm.
Mikael Pasternak (born 1905 in Riga, died 1967 in Virum) came around 1920 at a very young age to the Academy of Fine Arts in Riga, where he was trained as a painter and draftsman. On a study trip to Paris he met the young Danish girl, Anne Margrethe Petersen from Roskilde and married her in 1927. The couple lived in Riga, where Pasternak was a cartoonist for weeklies and newspapers.
When Pasternak came to Denmark in 1935, he started drawing at Politiken's Sunday supplement "Magasinet", which had its heyday from 1922-1963. The magazine was very popular due to cartoonists such as Aage Sikker Hansen, Arne Ungermann, Ib Andersen and Mikael Pasternak.
In the beginning, he also decorated shop windows. During the war, the family lived in Hulby near Slagelse, and he was a regular cartoonist at Sorø Amtstidende.
Later, the family moved to Copenhagen, and Pasternak became a freelance artist. Among other things. he was a regular illustrator at Svikmøllen from 1946-1954 - and for many years he provided illustrations for Illustreret Familie Journal.
His postcard production is not large; but shortly after he came to Denmark around 1936-37, he made a series of lovely Christmas postcards with elves in different situations, at the same time he also drew some New Year's cards. The signature is in this period mp.
In the 1950s, he drew a series of caricatures of famous Danes, and a new series of New Year's cards appeared. Now the signature is PAS.
