Anna Klindt Sørensen (b. Stengård near Ry 1899, d. Ry 1985)

Landscape. Signed AKS. Watercolour on paper. Sheet size 31×47 cm.

At this theme auction, we present four artworks with four very different expressions by the artist Anna Klindt Sørensen. The four different works illustrate the width that can be found within Ann Klindt Sørensen's artistic oeuvre, which is known for an expressive, vibrant, and spontaneous style of painting. Anna Klint Sørensen's education begins at Albertine Wesenberg's School for Porcelain Painters in 1919 in Copenhagen. Shortly after, she studies under Biggo Brandt in preparation for her enrolment at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1919. Here Anna Klindt Sørensen studies under Valdemar Irminger but decides to leave in protest after just three semesters. At this point, female students don’t have the opportunity to choose their professors – in contrast to what the male students were allowed to do at that time. Anna Klindt Sørensen is continuously active within – and speaks out about women's issues and women's rights, which her departure from the Academy of Arts also testifies to. In 1922, Anna Klindt Sørensen travels to vibrant and progressive Paris. Here she stays for the next 16 years and receives training at various painting schools under artists such as Fernand Léger, Marcel Gromaire, and André Lhote.
