The story of the Skagen painters Who were they and where did they live?

Anna Ancher

Michael Ancher

Marie Krøyer

P.S. Krøyer

Drawn by the wish to paint in the great outdoors, fascinated by the rugged scenery and the difficult conditions under which the local fishermen lived, the so-called Skagen painters settled in Skagen at the end of the 19th century. The arrival of the artists marked the beginnings of a growing artists’ colony which helped put Skagen on the map. They made their mark on the town, on art, on development and even on the Skagen that exists today.

ANNA ANCHER (1859-1935)

Anna is the only one of the well-known artists that was MICHAEL ANCHER (1849-1927) born and bred in Skagen. She grew up at Michael Ancher was born on 9 June 1849 Brøndum’s inn and merchant’s house – on the island of Bornholm.

In 1874 she met of the Fine Arts in Copenhagen from 1871Michael, whom she married some 6 years 1875. Michael Ancher set foot in Skagen later. Their only child, daughter Helga, was for the first time in 1874 and stayed in the born in 1883.

Laurits Tuxen

was the Garden House, part of Brøndum’s inn and merchant estate, now located in the gardens of Skagens Museum. In 1883 they moved to their residence on Markvej. Michael Ancher was a skilled figure painter who devoted a great deal of energy to large, ambitious compositions of figures. He’s particularly well known for his pictures of Skagen’s fishing population and the tough conditions they faced. As he became more familiar with Skagen’s environment, the nature of his paintings changed and took on a more realistic slant. Inspired by the fate of rescuer Lars Kruse, in 1879 he painted “Will He Round the Point?”, which marked his artistic breakthrough. Michael died in Skagen on 19 September 1927. MARIE KRØYER (1867-1940)

Marie Martha Matilde Triepke was born on 11 June 1867 in Frederiksberg. Marie began her artistic training at the end of the 1880’s and was taught at private schools both in Denmark and in Paris. She visited

Skagen for the first time in 1887, but did not move to the town until after her marriage to Krøyer in 1891. Following her arrival in Skagen, she painted less frequently, but turned her attention to interior decoration and design. She lived with Krøyer until their separation in 1905, after which she moved to Copenhagen and later to Sweden, where she married Swedish composer Hugo Alfvén in 1912. Marie Krøyer died on 25 May 1940 in Stockholm. P.S. KRØYER (1851-1909)

Peder Severin Krøyer – known to his friends as Søren – was born on 23 July 1851 in Norway, but grew up in Copenhagen. Krøyer was enrolled at the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts in Copenhagen at the age of just 14 and later attended a private art school in Paris. He was to become one of the period’s most sought-after portrait painters. Krøyer came to Skagen for the first time in 1882, where he was impressed

The story of the Skagen painters Who were they and where did they live?

Drachmann’s House

Locher’s House

by Skagen’s rugged scenery and hardy fishermen. The social intercourse with the other artists – where he soon became a focal point – meant that he returned to Skagen summer after summer. In 1889 he married the young painter Marie and they moved to Skagen together in 1891. Initially they were tenants in Madam Bendsen’s House, which later became Tuxen’s Villa, and in 1894 they rented accommodation in the former residence of the town’s bailiff, now better known as Krøyer’s House. Marie and P.S. Krøyer were divorced in 1906. Krøyer is best known for his pictures from Skagen. Figure paintings, pictures of the artists’ carefree life in good company, such as “Hip, Hip Hooray”, and walks on the beach, such as “Summer Evening on Sønderstrand”. His speciality was “the blue hour”, which he depicted in several images painted during Skagen’s light summer evenings. Krøyer died on 21 November 1909, having suffered from poor health for several years.

Krøyer’s House

HOLGER DRACHMANN (1846-1908)

Holger Drachmann, maritime painter and poet, was born on 9 October 1846 in Copenhagen. In 1866 he began studying at the Royal Academy of the Fine Arts in Copenhagen, and although he is generally acclaimed as a poet, he completed his education as a maritime painter. Drachmann visited Skagen for the first time in 1871 – incidentally as the first of what was later to become the “Skagen painters” – and it was here in particular that he demonstrated his artistic skills. He returned to Skagen at various intervals until finally taking up permanent residence at Villa Pax - Drachmann’s House - with the last of his three wives, Soffi. Drachmann had a great interest in poetry, and as he began to set his sights on making a living from poetry at the beginning of 1872, his painting took a back seat. Drachmann’s writings were wide-ranging, covering poems, stories, journalistic articles and his work as an art critic. Drachmann was one of the artists in Skagen who got closest to the town’s inhabitants, and with his genuine interest in their way of life

he was well-known and well-loved by both the fishing population and the town’s other citizens. Suffering from a nervous disorder, Drachmann died on 14 January 1908 in Hornbæk. His urn was transported to Skagen and buried in the dunes at Grenen.

OSCAR BJÖRCK (1860-1929) was a Swedish painter who visited Skagen for the first time in 1882. Along with Norwegian painter CHRISTIAN KROHG (1852-1925), who initially visited Skagen in 1879, and 2 other Scandinavian artists, he rented accommodation at Jomfru Mehlsen’s House, which The aforementioned painters were the was later to become Michael and Anna Anmost notable of the town’s artists, but the cher’s permanent residence. following artists from the inner circle of the artists’ colony also deserve a mention: Art is designed to be displayed, which inLAURITS TUXEN (1853-1927) visited Skagen deed it was in 1908 when enterprising indifor the first time in 1870, but did not settle viduals led by chemist Klæbel established permanently until 1901, following his mar- Skagens Museum in Brøndum’s dining hall. riage to his second wife Frederikke.

“My philosophy in terms of my pictures is that they must, first and foremost, have a positive impact and generate happiness. I am certain that my pictures engender joy in the home and success at the workplace.”

“Painting must be powerful with lots of energy and dynamism... not with a lot of written prose and poetry on the canvas, the colours should speak alone. No print or lines from projected motifs... it must stand alone with clear signals, Rock and Roll.... quick, decisive brushstrokes or applications of the palette knife ..., and no corrections should be made to the initial image. That’s it... no pampering or fiddling. Straight from the shoulder, you owe it to the user, to provide energy, dynamism and positive waves.

Sculptures in Skagen

THE LITTLE MERMAID Skagens Museum Axel Locher, 1879-1941

The inspiration behind Locher’s mermaid sculpture was the ballet “The Little Mermaid” performed at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen in 1909. Captivated by the artistic presentations showcased in the ballet, Axel Locher used a solo ballerina, Ulla Poulsen, as a model for the sculpture. This beautiful sculpture is “The artwork of the month” at Skagens Museum on 5 and 19 October. In the exhibition “Caught in the act” running from 16.9 – 2.4.18 at Skagens Museum, you can experience Locher’s life work and masterpiece - the theatre statues in plaster. On the guided tours on 22.9, 27.10, 24.11 and 15.12 with the theme “Caught in the act”, you can learn more about the vivid statues as well as Locher’s great personal attachment to Skagen.

FISHERMAN AND RESCUER, 1932 The harbour Anne Marie Carl Nielsen, 1863-1945

The story of the statue “Fisherman and rescuer” HE WAS FROM HANSTHOLM – and that’s a fact! A great deal has been said and written about this statue of the fisherman and rescuer from Hanstholm, which, after a great deal of controversy, was erected on 19 November 1932. Skagen Harbour was celebrating its 25th anniversary in 1932. Fate had decreed that composer Carl Nielsen’s wife, Anne Marie, had just produced a sculpture of a fisherman and rescuer that was due to be erected on a square in Copenhagen. However, a number of problems arose and Anne Marie ended up “stuck” with the sculpture. Rumours of the unhappy situation spread to Skagen, where the couple had a summer residence, and a deal was made to buy the sculpture for the anniversary. Everyone thought it was an excellent idea until the local citizens in Skagen realised that a Hanstholm fisherman would be embellishing their harbour. The town quickly split into 2 opposing camps: those who thought it was irrelevant where the fisherman came from; and those who staunchly refused to allow a Hanstholm fisherman to make up the landmark at their harbour! It was a massively controversial matter, and petitions were signed and smear campaigns launched. At the end of the day, the statue was quietly erected without any ceremony whatsoever – and a guard was initially posted to protect it. The guard has now disappeared, the storm has blown over and most people have forgotten who, what and why, but the Hanstholm fisherman remains to this day, gazing out peacefully and undisturbed at the harbour in front of the Harbour Master’s residence. See the “Danish fisherman and rescuer” statue above.

During the winter from 1936 to 1937 Karen Blixen lived in Skagen. The mission was to get some peace and quiet, so she could finish the novel “Out of Africa” about her years in Kenya. Initially, Karen Blixen stayed at Brøndums Hotel, but when a cat was shot after her own complaint, Karen Blixen instantly moved to the less fashionable Skagens Hotel. However, she later reconsidered and moved back to Brøndums Hotel and today you can still stay in the room, where Karen Blixen worked on one of her most famous novels. Just ask for the Karen Blixen room.

SKAGEN - A MECCA FOR ARTISTS - BOTH PAST AND PRESENT The light, the landscape and the atmosphere that characterise Skagen have attracted not only painters, but also a wide range of composers, poets and authors. One of them was KAREN BLIXEN, one of the world’s most famous female authors.
