Artist Bio:
Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen (1909–1957) was a Danish painter, graphic artist and theorist, and one of the central figures of Scandinavian Surrealism. He studied under Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus in Dessau, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision.
Petersen was a founding member of the artists’ group Linien (1934) and became known for his symbolically charged and dreamlike compositions that merge natural forms with surreal, psychological imagery. His works are represented in several major museums and collections in Denmark and abroad.

Erik Hoppe (1896–1968) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his paintings from the Copenhagen area, especially those with young ladies in the park at Valby.
Hoppe also mastered the effects of light and color. His earlier work is typified by greens and dull shades but later he produced compositions benefitting from bright sunlight. His style reflects the peculiarly Danish form of modernism, initially based on the sombre everyday-realism of around 1930.[1] Affinities with the work of Edvard Weie and Harald Giersing...
