THE ARTIST: PREBEN RASMUSSEN (BORN 1919) IS A LISTED DANISH ARTIST IN PARTICULAR KNOWN FOR HIS MOTIFS FROM PARIS. HA STARTED TO PAINT AT THE TENDER AGE OF 11. HE WAS INSPIRED BY FRENCH ARTISTS SUCH AS VAN GOGH AND GAUGIN. PREBEN RASMUSSEN HAS TRAVELLED AND STUDIED IN ITALY, FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND BUT THE PREDOMINANT PART OF HIS PRODUCTION IS CREATED IN PARIS. LIKE CAMILLE PISSARO AND OTHER GREAT ARTISTS HE OFTEN PAINTED THE SAME MOTIFS SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE DAY IN ORDER TO CAPTURE THE MOTIF IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT - OFTEN WITH FANTASTIC RESULTS. THE INSPIRATION HE RECIEVED FROM VAN GOGH AND GAUGINIS APPARENT FROM THE SWIRLING COLOURS AND STRONG CONTRAST BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS. THE MOODY ATMOSPHERE CONVEYED BY HIS PAINTINGS IS FURTHER ENHANCED BY THE 3-DIMENSIONAL ASPECTS WHICH THE THICKNESS OF THE PALETTE PORTRAYS.
THE ARTISTS STYLE: IMPRESSIONISTIC, BOLD STROKES OF THE BRUSH AND A HEAVY APPLICATION OF PAINT MAKING THE PAINTING ALMOST APPEAR AS A RELIEF.
