Specifikacia Thorvald Hellesen

- Modernist paintings with a Scandinavian touch - First monograph about Thorvald Hellesen - An artist from the avant-garde circle of Pablo Picasso, Constantin Brancusi and Piet Mondrian Thorvald Hellesen (1888-1937) was a Norwegian avant-garde artist who lived and worked in Paris in the 1910s and 1920s. He and his wife, the French artist H l ne Perdriat, were part of a circle of artists that included Pablo Picasso, Fernand L ger, Constantin Br ncusi, Piet Mondrian, Theo van Doesburg, and many others. In his short yet intense life, Thorvald Hellesen created an impressive unique oeuvre, oriented on Modernism, consisting of oil paintings, watercolors, gouaches, drawings, design projects, and textiles. Nevertheless, even in Norway he is only known to a few. With this publication the authors Dag Blakkisrud, Matthew Drutt, and Hilde M rch have created a written portrait of Hellesen. In
