Born in 1910 in Copenhagen, the Danish painter Richard Mortensen is one of the pioneers of abstract art in Denmark. He trained at the Royal Academy of Beaux-Arts in his native town from 1931-1932, before he decided to be self-taught. In the beginning of the 30’s, the young man goes to Berlin; has a particular interest for the works of Kandinsky and Joan Miro and is directed towards the Bauhaus, constructivism and surrealism. Mortensen practices a spontaneous painting, between abstraction and representation, and then evolves towards constructions more rigorous and rhythmical. Little by little, his works become radically geometric. From the beginning of his artistic career, Richard Mortensen constructs, at the same time as his painted works, important graphic works. The artist plays, in Denmark, a premier role in making modern art known to the public; he founds the revue ‘Linien’ (The Line), a revue which groups painters that endeavour to stay in touch with the artists in all of Europe during these troubled years. After the Second World War, the artist joins the group ‘Helhesten’ a group that is led by Asger Jorn and that will cast the preliminary bases that will become ‘Cobra’. The art of Richard Mortensen, geometric abstraction of perfect precision, will quickly distance itself from this movement. The artist moves to France, to Suresnes, in 1947 where he will stay15 years; he lives, with the sculptor Robert Jacobsen, in the House of Danish artists, and becomes a close compatriot to the artists at the Denise René Gallery (Herbin, Vasarely, etc.). Mortensen participates in numerous group exhibitions in France (Réalités Nouvelles, Salon de Mai, etc.) and abroad (the Venice Biennale, Documenta de Kassel, Stockholm, Helsinki, Brussels, Rio de Janeiro, etc.) and exposes, under an individual title, regularly with Denise René. The art of Mortensen is characterized by their clarity and simplicity of forms that are carried out by their dynamic relationship, with a variety of colors that are especially delicate and bright. Richard Mortensen died at the beginning of 1993 in Denmark.
