artist biography
Kjeld Hansen was born on 20 February 1919 in Falster, Denmark. He was a Danish painter.

Hansen attended the Kunsthåndv in Copenhagen in 1938-1939. He then continued his studies under the Danish painter P. Rostrup Bøyesen between 1939-1940, and at the Kunstakad in Copenhagen from 1940-1945. He took study trips to Norway in 1949 and France in 1952.

Hansen’s early works were traditional landscape from the island of Bornholm with an influence of fellow Danish artist Kristen ‘Kræsten’ Iversen (1886-–1955). Iversen was one of the Bornholm school of painters who, inspired by the island’s landscapes and light, developed a distinctive modernist style of landscape painting. During the 1950’s and 60s Hansen’’s work became increasingly abstract with a lyrical, light colour palette and can be considered a modern extension of the Danish landscape tradition.

Hansen first showed his work in 1939 and exhibited extensively over his career as an artist. Select exhibitions include Oslo (1946 and 1962), Copenhagen (1959), Lund Konsthall, Art Gallery, Sweden (1959), Nordic Art 1951-61 at National Gallery of Iceland (1961), Philadelphia Museum, USA (1967) and with a couple of years exception annually with the Den Frie Udstilling (Danish Artists Association)‘’ from 1945 through to 1974.

Examples of his work are held in public collections in Denmark including the Bornholms Kunstmuseum, Museum Salling (Skive Museum), KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg, Fuglsang Kunstmuseum, Statens Museum for Kunst, Esbjerg Kunstmuseum and the Sorø Kunstmuseum.

Hansen passed away in 2012 aged 93.

Gem from a brilliant thinker.
Format: Paperback
This book will forever redefine feminism for its readers. There are two threads: one political, the other literary commentary. Fortunately, Witting pulls the former into the latter. The astute and radical political critique in Wittig's book is uniquely powerful. Wittig addresses the question of how a movement is comprised of both group energy and individual experience. The theory, legacy, and limits of Marx and Engels are discussed. Then, drawing on de Beauvoir and other iconoclasts, Wittig addresses our dominator culture in a way that goes directly to its core. Wittig deals efficiently yet persuasively with the argument over whether nature or culture is responsible for inequality, declaring that "there is no sex." This statement becomes the book's alpha and omega, and the lens through which Wittig shows us history, literature, and the future of activism. Like whiteness, maleness is a social category that can be renounced. Man (Homo) once meant everybody in the human community -- it was indeed generic, in the unifying sense. Unfortunately, the word has so frequently been used to describe a socially constructed group that expels half of itself in order to oppress it, "man" is now identified with those identified as male. In the essay "The Category of Sex" Wittig writes: "The perenniality of the sexes and the perenniality of slaves and masters proceed from the same belief, and, as there are no slaves without masters, there are no women without men. The ideology of sexual difference functions as censorship in our culture by masking, on the grounds of nature, the social opposition between man and women. Masculine/feminine, male/female are the categories which serve to conceal the fact that social differences always belong to an economic, political, ideological order. ...The masters explain and justify the established divisions as a result of natural differences." I understand that Wittig has recently passed away. If only I had discovered this book a little earlier, so that I could have met the author. That feeling, I suppose, is the sign of a truly good read. "A text by a minority author is only successful if it succeeds in making the minority point of view unviersal" writes Wittig --and to read this book from beginning to end is to find that the author has done just that.

Partly still thought-provoking, partly dated
Format: Paperback
Dr. Wittig had so much anger, and had such a fight to fight. She seems excessive at times, or as though she is painting with such a broad brush, but writing such as this did win some important battles. No, things are not as dark as her wrath would suggest, or at least not anymore.
