The son of a Danish master painter who graduated from
Copenhagen Academy of Art, participated in the most famous art exhibitions
in Denmark, spent several productive years in the Danish West Indies, and
who
visited and painted at many of the Danish manors, yet managed to be
forgotten by the public.

Since the turn of the millenium, Hugo Larsen's art has been exhibited like never before. In 2005, his paintings from the moors were on display at the exhibition "Landscapes surrounding Viborg". In 2006, Øregaard Museum north of Copenhagen had a spectacular special exhibition of his art from the Danish West Indies (now USVI). This exhibition was followed up by a similar one at the Danish Maritime Museum in Elsinore later in 2006. Finally, a number of Hugo Larsen's works have been displayed at the exhibition "Transfer" in Overgaden in Copenhagen in 2008.
St. Croix Friends of Denmark has completed an ambitious video project "Danish Artist Hugo Larsen's
Cultural Portrait of Our Islands 1904-1907" that has resulted in a one hour documentary showing
life in the then Danish West Indies as seen through Hugo Larsen's art. The video is now for sale.

There is very little published material about Hugo Larsen and no registration of his
works of art, apart from what you see on these pages. If you happen to know anything
about Hugo Larsen's paintings/drawings or events in his life, I would be delighted
to hear from you.

Few of Hugo Larsen's paintings are owned by museums. In order to partly compensate
for this sad fact, I have collected a virtual gallery with photos of a number of his
paintings and drawings. The gallery is divided into many exhibition rooms, e.g. paintings
from the Danish West Indies,
West Indian drawings,
signed portraits, Hugo Larsen's muses,
drawings/sketches and other works.
In most parts of the gallery you will find art from his visit to the Danish West Indies
in 1904-1907.
