Wilhelm Freddie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Frederik Christian Carlsen Freddie (7 February 1909 – 26 October 1995) was a Danish painter and sculptor. Initially working along a somewhat abstract line, he soon turned towards a more realistic surrealism, only to later return to abstract art. Some of his works were highly controversial and considered pornographic at their time, resulting in confiscation of the works and imprisonment of Freddie, though his artistic merits were later recognized.
