Abstract Painting By Lindemann Year 1965

Kai Lindemann (1931-2007) Danish painter. In the years following the Academy era, Kai Lindemann painted a series of abstract images in a dark color scale in response to William Scharff's color theories and his opposition to the color black. After this period, he feels the need to return to color. This work is like a palette of colors that invites one to look at life away from the dramatic images of it. We are in 1965, just before he turns to the years 1967-70, towards the landscape and its innumerable shades of colors. And before he went to Verona and Haut-de-Cagnes in Provence. This fascination he will have for the light of the south of France is already reflected in this abstract composition. The colors become stronger and burst in this very expressive work. The lines appear quickly applied like orgies of blue, green, yellow or even red colors painted with a large brush, revealing in the end always very well thought out compositions. With density and substance. He was 34 years old when he produced this contemporary work celebrating life. This Danish painter received, in 1992, the Eckersberg Medal which is a prize awarded each year by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Denmark. It is named after Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, known to be the father of Danish painting. The medal is awarded to artists who have made an effort of high artistic quality in free or bound art. In 1992, sculptor Per Neble, architects Ib and Jørgen Rasmussen were honored alongside him.
