Opening of the exhibition – Hunting with Storm P

One of the beautiful and quirky works that can be seen in this Storm P. exhibition.

On Monday, October 16 at 11 a.m. (during the autumn break), The Green Museum opens its doors to a new limited-time special exhibition focusing on Storm P. and his beautiful and thought-provoking illustrations about hunting safety.

Everyone has the opportunity to come and be among the first to experience the new exhibition. And if you are there at 11 am, you will even have the opportunity to get a short lecture about Storm P. and his enchanting hunting universe.

In the special exhibition “Hunting with Storm P.” we show the museum’s unique series of his works, which recommended precautionary measures for hunters. They were made as an information campaign in two stages, first in the 1930s and later in 1947. The exhibition focuses on the general historical development of hunting during the period, but especially on the question of safety on the hunt. This is also the subject of his series of pictures. It consists of 14 watercolors

Who was Storm P.?

He was a Danish artist, writer, cartoonist and humorist who lived from 1882 to 1949. His full name was Robert Storm Petersen, but he is better known by his stage name Storm P.. He is best known for his satirical and humorous approach to society, which he expressed through his drawings, sculptures, poems and plays.

The Artist and the Hunt

When it comes to his hunting illustrations, he was known for creating images that humorously depicted hunting situations and hunters. His hunting illustrations were often filled with comedic elements that played on stereotypes and absurdities associated with the hunting world. He used his keen powers of observation to create funny and thought-provoking works that appealed to a wide audience.

His hunting illustrations were part of his extensive portfolio of satirical works. These commented on social conditions and human behavior in a funny and thought-provoking way. His ability to combine wit with humor made him one of Denmark's most beloved artists and humorists.

Although he has passed away, his works are still popular and appreciated, and they serve as a reminder of his unique talent and contribution to the art world.
