About Wilhelm Freddie

  • Biography

    Wilhelm Freddie was born in 1909 and passed away in 1995.

    Wilhelm Freddie was a Danish artist who, among other things, helped introduce surrealism to Denmark at the Artists' Autumn Exhibition in 1930.

    Fredde was later a leading figure in surrealism in the Nordic countries. In 1944, Freddie was forced to flee to Sweden during the war, where he lived and worked until 1950.

    Wilhelm Freddie lived in Sweden during the period 1944-1950 and dedicated other works to Arne Häggqvist (1911-1985, Swedish translator and cultural profile) during the 1940s, when Häggqvist also edited the Ars Konstserie in 1945 with Freddie's works, which is why 1944 is considered likely.
