Frede Vidar: Born in Denmark, Frede Vidar came to
America at the age of twelve. After finishing his artistic studies in
New York, he was awarded the Chaloner Foundation prize for three years
of residency and study in Paris (1935). Frede Vidar returned to the United States
shortly before the outbreak of World War Two and during the ensuing struggle
worked in an official capacity as a combat artist. At the end of the war,
Frede Vidar received the prestigious Simon Guggenheim fellowship (1946). |

Equally well received for his landscape, genre and figure
studies in oils, murals and lithographs, Frede Vidar's art was the subject of
one man shows in Paris, New York, Detroit, Barcelona, Brussels and Melbourne.
Frede Vidar was also an artist and correspondent for Life and Fortune
magazines. From 1950 until his death in 1967 he was Professor of Art at
the University of Michigan. Today, examples of Vidar's art are housed
in many important collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New
York, and the National Gallery, Denmark. |
