Dea Trier Morch, Vinterborn, linocut, 1976.
Dea Trier Morch, double face
HUMLEBAECK –The Louisiana Museum with its sculpture garden, the first in Europe, is well known. But the institution also gives importance to more fragile forms of art, in particular to graphic works. It currently pays tribute to Dea Trier Morch (1941-2001), a creator who is hardly known beyond the Scandinavian borders. She is the author of a successful feminist novel, Vinterborn, that was adapted to the screen, and she also contributed to an artistic group that was very much to the left in the 70s (Rode Mor). A graduate from the school of Fine Arts, with her efficient linocuts she presents two facets that seem impossible to reconcile: on one hand scenes of demonstrations, on the other moving moments of every day life such as mother and child scenes and well-behaved children.
