Painting
Richard Mortensen was a Danish painter and pioneer of geometric abstraction in Northern Europe. Working primarily in oil on canvas from his Copenhagen studio, he developed a distinctive vocabulary of interlocking planes and austere color fields that emerged in the 1930s. His practice remained committed to non-representational form throughout his six-decade career, positioning him as a foundational figure in post-war Danish modernism.
