| Bemærkning | Francis Bull (1887 –1974) was a Norwegian literary historian.
He was appointed professor in Nordic literature at the University of Oslo in 1920. He worked on the volume “Norwegian Literary History” for many years, and as a byproduct of this endeavor he wrote hundreds of entries in the biographical dictionary “Norsk biografisk leksikon”. Bull was editor-in-chief of the journal “Edda” from 1925 to 1960. He was chairman of the board of Gyldendal Publishers, Norway from 1925 to 1968, and a board member of the National Theatre from 1922 to 1956, with the exception of the years 1941 to 1945. During the occupation of Norway, Bull, along with other board, was arrested in 1941. Bull spent three years in a concentration camp. As he had an excellent memory, he was able to continue his lecturing in prison, by holding secret lectures for his fellow prisoners. Henrik Sørensen (1882 – 1962) was a Norwegian painter. Sørensen studied drawing at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Kristiania in 1904 and from 1906 to 1908. He studied with Kristian Zahrtmann in Copenhagen from 1904 to 1905, and became fascinated by the French impressionists while studying at the art school Académie Colarossi in Paris during the autumn of 1905. He studied painting with Henri Matisse in Paris from 1908 to 1910. His breakthrough was the painting Svartbækken (The Black Stream) from 1908. He is represented in the National Gallery with several paintings, as well as in other Scandinavian museums, and has decorated a large wall at the Oslo City Hall. In 1939 the Government of Norway donated his iconic wall painting "The Dream of Peace" (today in the Library of the United Nations Office in Geneva) to the League of Nations. During World War II he was held at the Grini concentration camp in 1945. He was a member of the Norwegian Association for Women's Rights. Niels Bohr lived at the Carlsberg Honorary Residence between 1932 and 1962. |
