Harald Henriksen

Born in Odense, he first worked in a Copenhagen bank (1903–1911) before turning to art, befriending Olaf Rude, Jens Pedersen and the other artists who together organized alternative exhibitions as De Tretten. Initially influenced by L.A. Ring, he studied under Rude, working with him in Lolland (1911) and Funen (1914). Henriksen's watercolours combine a traditional approach with the more modern trends he had learnt from his experience of French art. For many years, he lived near Frederiksberg Park, a romantic area combining the city's urban surroundings with the open look of the countryside. It inspired many of his paintings. Henriksen also designed costumes for the Royal Danish Theatre (1915–1923) and decorated pottery for Royal Copenhagen (1912–1930). ==Exhibitions==
