Vantore, Erik Mogens 4 products

Erik Mogens Vantore 1895 – 1977
Studied at the Technical School in Copenhagen where he was inspired by the Impressionist School, his first exhibition was held in 1912 and the young Vantore was highly successful and critically acclaimed during these early years. In 1923 he moved to France with his first wife and settled close to Paris in Nogent Sur Marne, in the house in which the French painter Watteau once lived. Upon his return to Denmark in 1925 Vantore exhibited at the Royal Danish Academy and spent most of his time in Copenhagen. After the death of his first wife, he remarried in 1932 and during the following years painted with a new inner strength driven by his new vibrant relationship. Escaping the hectic Bohemian life of Copenhagen and Paris, the couple settled in the central part of Jylland in the village of Roe where Vantore found himself in a quieter work mode. It was in this atmosphere of country space that he painted a great number of landscapes in the manner of the Impressionist plein air painters.. Vantore spent his later years in Majorca and he continued painting up to his death at the age of 82 He is particularly known for his post-impressionistic views of Paris, preferring to capture the atmosphere of winter light on the streets of Montmartre. His works are featured in Fuglsang Art Museum and Skovgaard Museum
