LOUIS MOE
Antique Etchings
Fe29 has a collection of original etchings from the early 1900’s, Norwegian born Louis Moe. These works were collected by Fe29 co-owner, Cecilia Mickelsen, during the 2 year period she was living and working in Denmark.
Louis Moe (20 April 1857 – 23 October 1945)
Moe was born in Norway but settled in Denmark, and the Danes like to claim his as their own. He studied with sculptor Julius Middelthun in Christiania, and later at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. Moe eventually settled in Denmark, becoming a naturalized Danish citizen in 1919. he is best known for his many book illustrations – he illustrated classical works as well as fairytales and children’s books. He was also a graphic artist, and several of his works had decadent erotic motifs, such as naked women with monsters or animals.
Moe is represented in the National Gallery in Oslo, the Danish Museum of Art & Design in Copenhagen and in ‘Rasmus Meyers Samlinger’ in Bergen, Norway. A ‘Louis Moe Gallery‘ has been established in Vrådal, Norway. He was decorated Knight of the Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark) in 1931, and died in Copenhagen in 1945.
