Knud Kyhn (March 17, 1880 - 1969) was a Danish animal and landscape painter and porcelain/ceramics sculptor, who created many animal figurines for the three major, Danish porcelain factories: Royal Copenhagen, Bing & Grøndahl, and Kähler.

He trained at the Royal Academy and Zahrtmann's school, and traveled widely to observe animals and birds, esp. in Northern Europe. His style of painting aligns with that of Fynboerne, esp. Johannes Larsen.

Why play a boring Precision Bass when you could be rocking a custom-made two-stringed olive-shaped bass like Stig Pedersen of D-A-D. Or an Iron Cross á la Red Baron. Or a Headstock bass. Or my favourite the Seagull bass fashioned after classic Danish Bing & Grøndahl tableware.

Suzette Catherine Holten (de soltera Skovgaard, (1863-1937) pintora y ceramista danesa.

Nacidd en Copenhague, fue el tercer hijo del pintor Peter Christian Thamsen Skovgaard y su esposa Georgia. Como sus hermanos Joakim y Niels, se convirtió en pintora. Después de que su madre muriera cuando ella tenía solo cinco años, fue criada por su padre en el próspero distrito de Østerbro de Copenhague. La cuidó mucho, introduciéndola en las obras de los pintores daneses del Siglo de Oro, gracias a sus amistades. También fue el primero en animarla a dibujar.

Después de su muerte en 1875, se mudó a la casa del pintor Thorald Læssøe, donde continuó teniendo contactos con la comunidad artística.

Estudió dibujo con Carl Thomsen, Laurits Tuxen y Frans Schwartz, pero como pintora fue esencialmente autodidacta. Continuó sus estudios en París junto con sus amigas Elise Konstantin-Hansen , Edma Frølich y Sofie Holten. También estableció una estrecha amistad con la escultora Anne Marie Brodersen.

En 1894 se casó con el comerciante Hans Nicolai Holten (1871-1937). Tuvieron un hijo, Aage Holten.

Además de paisajes, cuadros florales y retratos, creó y decoró cerámica y también trabajó como bordadora.

En 1895, fue directora artística de la recién creada Kvindernes Udstilling (La Exposición de Mujeres), donde expuso varias cerámicas y pinturas. Diseñó una de las habitaciones, instalando los muebles verdes que ahora se pueden ver en la Casa de Michael y Anna Ancher en Skagen.

Pero como mujer, no pudo alcanzar el mismo nivel de aclamación que su padre o sus hermanos. 

Después de una estancia prolongada en los Estados Unidos, Holten regresó a Dinamarca en 1910 para trabajar con cerámica en la Royal Porcelain Factory (1910-1914) y en Bing & Grøndahl (1915-1918).

Pintó principalmente paisajes, pero también creó pinturas de figuras, retratos y pinturas de flores, todos con un enfoque bastante ornamental. Sus obras tendían a ser más abstractas que las de la Edad de Oro, y a menudo mostraban una combinación de tonos azules y dorados. Se inspiró en el art nouveau y el arte japonés.

También practicó muchas otras formas de arte, incluida la ilustración, la decoración de muebles y el bordado. Uno de los manteles bordados del altar de la catedral de Roskilde es obra suya.

Pasó la mayor parte de su vida en Copenhague. Sin embargo, viajó bastante. Siendo adolescente visitó Alemania, Austria, Suiza, Italia y París, y en 1886 viajó a Egipto. Después de otras estancias en París, de 1889 a 1893 pasó los veranos en Noruega. En el siglo XX viajó a Londres y los Países Bajos. De 1906 a 1910, vivió con su marido en San Francisco y Seattle en 1906, y regresó a Dinamarca en 1910. Siguieron más viajes por Europa y el norte de Noruega.

Murió en Copenhague y está enterrada en el cementerio de Solbjerg.

Le ponemos cara.

Porcelain Effie Hegermann Lindencrone

Vase with lid, height 52 cm, Effie Hegermann Lindencrone, Bing & Grøndahl, 1916, from the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago. Effie Hegermann Lindencrone (1860–1945) is considered one of the most talented and successful porcelain artists of the early twentieth century in Denmark, creating the best examples of porcelain in the Art Nouveau style, or skonvirke, as the Danish form of Art Nouveau is now called. Her work can be found in many museum collections. Read the full article

“Butterfly” plate by Bing & Grøndahl, Denmark

Butterfly, designed ca.1880,  was a direct response to the now-iconic “Blue fluted” pattern introduced by their then-competitor, Royal Copenhagen (which now owns Bing & Grøndahl). Plates in this pattern always feature a butterfly in the center, unlike in Blue Fluted.  See for example Wallendorf’s “Blue Dresmer” for another similar design, all inspired by the then extremely fashionable Japanese and Chinese imported porcelain designs.

Behind the Scenes of Art Nouveau Innovation: Danish Porcelain from an American Collector

The Museum of Danish America’s latest exhibition, Art Nouveau Innovation: Danish Porcelain from an American Collector opens tomorrow (Oct. 2) with a free open house from 3-6 pm. Read on to get a behind the scenes glimpse into the installation of these incredible artworks. 

Prior to arriving at the museum, the curatorial staff traveled to the collector’s home to pack each object and label it with a number. Objects were then placed into crates to travel, and an additional label listing each object number was placed on the exterior of the crate. At the museum, this made it possible to locate each object needed for each display case. 

Objects were then place on a padded cart only used for the transport of clean museum objects. The works were very carefully and slowly wheeled into the exhibition space. 

An empty case waiting to be filled!

Visible at the bottom of the above image is a glimpse of a purple nitrile glove, which staff always wear when handling museum objects. Also visible, though just barely, is the clear protective layer of archival melinex, which was applied to the base of each object to prevent it from coming into direct contact with the display case. Each piece of melinex was carefully cut to size to fit the base of the object while also not being too visible and distracting to visitors. The melinex was attached to the object’s base with strategically placed museum putty (the white blobs above). Double-sided tape was then attached to the melinex (the brown strip, and the two clear rectangles across the surface of the base) and used to secure the object in place within the case. These steps are meant to ensure that the fragile porcelain will not move or shake, while also protecting the surface of the artwork by only allowing safe, removable materials to come into contact with it. 

Once the objects are arranged and secured, they are ready to be displayed under glass!

If you look very closely, you may be able to spot evidence of the steps I’ve listed above throughout the exhibition. 

Some objects required different steps in order to prepare them for display. In the case of the plate in the above image, it is displayed using a plastic plate stand. The stand itself was secured to the bottom of the case using double-sided tape. Any points of contact between the stand and the plate were padded using an archival, inert foam. Finally, museum putty was placed at points of contact to secure the object in place on the stand. 

In the case of the bat featured in the first image of this post, in order to fit the object into the drawer of the above display case, the thick layer of foam at the base of the drawer had to be carved to fit the shape of the bat. After covering the foam with fabric, this allowed the bat to rest in an indentation low enough to fit under the glass of the drawer and created greater stability for the object within the case. 

If this brief glimpse has piqued your interest, Art Nouveau Innovation: Danish Porcelain from an American Collector will be on display October 2, 2020 through January 3, 2021.

Benjamin Olsen (May 3, 1878 - 1935) was an autodidact Danish marine painter. He worked most of his life for Bing & Grøndahl and Royal Copenhagen porcelain factories.

As a marine painter he participated twice in the Danish Royal House's voyages to The Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland (1921 and 1926). He depicted the naval vessels used in a clean naturalistic style, ass seen here:

Niels Juel ved Trøllkonufingur (Kongespiret), Færøerne 6/6 1926 - oil on canvas (Privately owned)

Several of Olsen's canvases are now at the Danish Maritime Museum...
