This chapter analyzes how Klindt Sorensen uses painting as a medium to evoke the sense of touch in the viewer, rather than to visually describe the body as beautiful when observed from a distance. Klindt Sarensen belongs to a group of young women artists who in the 1920s fled the notorious Kunstakademiets Kunstskole for Kvinder in Copenhagen and travelled to Paris. In 1945, Klindt Sorensen painted a monumental picture of her colleague, the painter Holger J. Jensen. Klindt Sorensen is more interested in provoking the sense of touch in the viewer, and thereby leading the way for affects and sensations, than she is in describing the body.","PeriodicalId":175412,"journal":{"name":"Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries, 1900–1960","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114647065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Knutson never signed any manifestos and the group exhibitions in which she participated around 1930 were loosely aligned rather than focused. Even though an editor, Brigitte Classen, was involved in the publication of Bestien and contributed a brief introduction, Greta Knutson was in charge of selecting images and texts. Bestien is comprised mainly of Knutson’s short stories and a few poems. La Surprise belongs to the late paintings Knutson called oneiric. Knutson works with contrasts between light and dark, but the overall impression can easily be described as uncanny.","PeriodicalId":175412,"journal":{"name":"Modern Women Artists in the Nordic Countries, 1900–1960","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122043724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
