MOGENS VANTORE
Danish 1895-1977
Eric Mogens Christian Vantore was born March 16, 1895 to Danish parents in Copenhagen, Denmark where he was also raised. His father, painter Hans Christian Vantore (1861-1928), studied under P.S. Kroyer and Lauritz Tuxen who were both central figures in the Skagen Plein Air School, the most influential art movement in Denmark at the time. Mogens’ mother was the daughter of the well-known French art dealer P.B. Le Fleure.
With this artistic background Mogens was in contact with many well-known artists of the time and so became motivated to paint at an early age. At 14, he started formal training at the Technical School in Copenhagen where he was inspired by the Impressionist School, mainly Gauguin, Van Gogh and Cezanne. His strong palette of greens, yellows and blues was to become the signature of Vantore’s work and only rarely do we see him straying from this boldness of colour.
Vantore’s first exhibition was in 1912 at the age

Born in Copenhagen in 1895, Mogens Vantore first studied with his father, the pioneering Impressionist Hans Christian Hansen.
