Thorvald Erichsen
Thorvald Erichsen (1868–1939) was a Norwegian painter known for his vibrant, expressive landscapes and still lifes. Born in Trondheim, Norway, Erichsen initially studied in Copenhagen and later became influenced by French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism. His works are characterized by their bold use of color and loose, expressive brushstrokes, which conveyed both the mood of the landscape and the artist’s personal emotional response to the scene.
Erichsen was part of the modernist movement in Norway, contributing to the shift from naturalistic to more expressive and color-driven art. His works have become central to the narrative of Norwegian modernism and are held in institutions such as the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo.
