Description
Vintage lithograph print by Danish artist Albert Bertelsen (1921-2019).
Signed/numbered by the artist and mounted in its original glass and lacquered timber frame.
Albert Bertselsen was a Danish self-taught artist born in 1921 in Vejle. His work was widely exhibited from the mid-1950s up until the 1990s in Denmark, during which time he was given a number of different awards and scholarships.
Although much of Bertselen’s work is of landscapes – rolling hills, imposing forests, lakes of what can only be assumed as ice-cold water – he also established a career for himself as a graphic artist, creating more abstract pieces, such as this one. Although seemingly a representation of a kind of fort or structure, the simplicity of both the image and of the background it’s set against leaves us unsure of what exactly it is we’re looking at. Equally, its almost pop art rendering makes it feel like a well-established icon or image – perhaps it was to Bertelsen.
