About Mark Osman Curtis

  • Biography

    Mark Osman Curtis (1879-1959).

    He was born in Scotland and moved to Denmark just before WW I. He was somewhat of a hermit and was almost frantic about keeping his personal information a secret. Despite this seclusion he is nonetheless known by virtually every art dealer in Denmark.

    His prefered subjects were village- or tidal meadow scenes with cows and often with hens. Apart from that he has also made some close-up portraits of calves, but common to his motifs is that humans are extremely rare in his paintings.

    It appears he had 18 pseudonyms including:
    H. Bjardan
    Aage Wang
    Th. Friis
    V. Birholm
