Bye Elk Horn!

My internship has sadly come to an end. It has been a great experience and I have really enjoyed my time in Elk Horn. I never thought it was possible to experience as much as I have these past 5 months.

For this last post I want to share some photos from our trip to Seattle last week. We were introduced to a lot of people who are, in some way, involved with the museum, we visited the Nordic Museum, and saw all the tourist attractions Seattle has to offer. We learned a lot on that trip and enjoyed our last travel opportunity with the museum. Thank you for following along!

#Repost @52museums with @repostapp ・・・ @Vejenkunstmuseum - The Danish painter Jens Vige was a part of the artist colony at Hammer Bakker north of Aalborg in Jutland, where also the sculptor Niels Hansen Jacobsen had a summerhouse. The wide, barren landscapes of northern Jutland were among Vige’s favorite subjects – the inland heaths portrayed in 1901 and the moon lit costal marshlands in 1909. He died young in 1912 – seven years after painting the self-portrait seen here. #52museums #vejenkunstmuseum #vejenartmuseum #denmark #artnouveau #symbolism #art #museum #culture #history #danishmuseums #artist #jensvige #danishpainting #painting #hammerbakker #aalborg

I can’t believe I never posted my photos from the Museum of Danish America in Iowa! These are from an exhibit about World War II and the Danish Resistance to German occupation. @danishmuseum

#Repost @52museums with @repostapp ・・・ Jens Lund’s best known work is the almost 2 meters tall painting ”Herrens Herlighed” (The Glory of God). In its abstract form – at least a decade before abstract art was “invented” – the spectator is left free to interpret the painting. The artist presents something greater than man – perhaps the connection between heaven and earth? There is a green circular shape, like a science fiction portal. The left side is bright, colourful with soft, wavy lines opposed to the right side with dark tones and sharp, rugged forms – an abstract depiction of the opposites of life, of good and evil. @vejenkunstmuseum #52museums #vejenkunstmuseum #vejenartmuseum #NielsHansenJacobsen #jenslund #herrensherlighed #gloryofgod #painting #denmark #artnouveau #symbolism #interior #art #museum #culture #history #home #danishmuseums #culture #good #evil #abstract
