Description: In spring 2019, Kunsten is presenting the first solo exhibition in many years of works by the Danish Surrealist, Rita Kernn-Larsen (1904-1998). Throughout the 1930s, like few other contemporary female artists, Rita Kernn-Larsen achieved great international recognition in intellectual and artistic circles. On the occasion of her debut in 1934, one critic even referred to her as "a female, Danish Picasso." Despite that praise, however, in our age she has never met with the consideration she deserves. 'SOLO: Rita Kernn-Larsen' explores not only Rita Kernn-Larsen's surrealistic heyday in the 1930s, but also the later period of her artistic work, which has received little attention over the years. The exhibition features works from throughout Kernn-Larsen's artistic career: from the compelling, dreamlike scenarios and mysterious characters of the 1930s to the naturalistic landscapes, quirky collages and ceramic works of her later years. Exhibition: Kunsten Museum of Modern Art, Aalborg, Denmark (07.02-05.05.2019).
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (page 251).
