Wilhelm Freddie

Wilhelm Freddie (1915-1995) was a Danish artist who is best known for his contributions to the Surrealist movement. He was a painter, sculptor, poet, and filmmaker, and his work often explored themes of eroticism, violence, and the subconscious mind.

Freddie was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and began his artistic training at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. In the 1930s, he became involved with the Danish Surrealist group, and his early works were influenced by the Surrealist movement's exploration of the irrational and the subconscious.

Freddie's paintings often featured biomorphic forms and dreamlike imagery, and he was known for his bold use of color and his intricate, highly detailed compositions. His sculptures were similarly surreal and often incorporated found objects and unconventional materials.
