Willumsen was one of Scandinavia\u2019s most famous artists in the early 1900s. His multifaceted practice is characterised by experiments in style and dynamic composition. Ernest Thiel bought seven works by Willumsen and was a patron of his solo exhibition in Stockholm in 1907. In the S\u00f6derberg Room you will find all Willumsen\u2019s works in our collection, except for the imposing painting <em>Sun over Southern Mountains<\/em> (1901), which is shown in the Munch Room (see above).<br><br>This autumn, we welcome you to our exhibition <a><em>On Whose Shoulders<\/em><\/a><em><a href=\"#_msocom_1\">[GB1]<\/a>&nbsp;<\/em><em>.<\/em><em> <\/em><em>Lars von Trier Curates<\/em><em>, organised in collaboration with the Willumsen <\/em>Museum<em> in <\/em>Fredrikssund<em>, Denmark.<\/em> The museum has also lent us early paintings, such as <em>Two Women Walking<\/em> (1890) and the late painting <em>The Evening Soup<\/em> (1918).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Willumsen is more or less forgotten in Sweden today. In 1969, his works were featured by the Thiel Gallery in what was then our largest exhibition to date. Photographs from that exhibition and correspondence between J. F. Willumsen and Ernest Thiel are shown in the S\u00f6derberg Room.
