Ragnhild Kaarbø (26 December 1889 – 20 August 1949) was a Norwegian painter. [1]
She was born at Harstad in Troms, Norway to Rikard Kaarbø and Anna Elisabeth Lund.[2] Her father was a successful businessman who fostered the growth of the shipping industry in Harstad.[3]
Kaarbø studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Kristiania (now Oslo), and further with Henrik Sørensen and Harriet Backer, and with expressionist Kees van Dongen in Paris. She resided in Paris during the 1920s, and studied with painters such as André Lhote, Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant.[4]
Toward the end of the 1920s, she settled in Oslo and went over to paint expressive landscapes in figurative style. Among her works at the National Gallery of Norway are Komposisjon med hode from 1925 and Fra Siena from 1937.[2][5]
