Artwork Description:
On posters in general: At the request of Dansk Plakatmuseum (Danish Museum of Poster Art) all new posters are sent to the museum where I now have one of the largest collections. After a French visit to Dansk Plakatmuseum's Cassandra exhibition, I received a letter from Mairie de Paris, Direction des Affaires Culturelles, Thierry Devynck: I am deeply impressed by the quality of the works which you have created and which Peder Stougaard of Dansk Plakatmuseum in Aarhus showed me. In particular, he showed me a poster which, as far as I remember, was entitled "Landmandsliv - en kunstart" (Farmer's Life - An Art Form). The drawing is at once full of charm and permanence. Would it be possible for Bibiloteque Forney to acquire a collection which is representative of your work? I would really like to include your work in our collections, etc., etc. A collection was subsequently sent to Paris. This poster is part of the Forney, Paris collection. The description is in French. If you want it in English, please feel free to e-mail me. "SILKEBORG" Il s'agit là du nom d'une ville du Danemark. A un certain moment donné, j'avais fait 6 motifs pour les enveloppes à ordonnances distribuées par la pharmacie "SVANE APOTEK". Entre autres, il y avait le bateau à aubes Hjejlen ainsi que d'autres motifs caractéristiques de Silkeborg. Je m'adressai au directeur du syndicat d'initiative de la ville, lui proposant de composer des affiches touristiques pour Silkeborg. Il en résulta deux oeuvres: l'une représentant le Hjejlen, l'autre des maisons sur le port, typiques de la cité. A l'arrière-plan, à gauche, on voit une usine de briques rouges: c'est l'usine de papier, la Silkeborg Papirfabrik, qui a commandité le projet.
