Artist Bio:
Vilhelm Bjerke Petersen (1909–1957) was a Danish painter, graphic artist and theorist, and one of the central figures of Scandinavian Surrealism. He studied under Wassily Kandinsky at the Bauhaus in Dessau, which profoundly shaped his artistic vision.
Petersen was a founding member of the artists’ group Linien (1934) and became known for his symbolically charged and dreamlike compositions that merge natural forms with surreal, psychological imagery. His works are represented in several major museums and collections in Denmark and abroad.

Erik Hoppe (1896–1968) was a Danish painter who is remembered for his paintings from the Copenhagen area, especially those with young ladies in the park at Valby.
