Anne Marie Lütken

Anna Maria (Anne Marie) Lütken (1916–2001) was a Danish painter who is remembered above all for her distinctive figure paintings, frequently based on her mother, her grandmother or herself as models.

From 1947, she studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Vilhelm Lundstrøm, Kræsten Iversen and Elof Risebye, graduating in 1955.

[1] From her début in 1951, Lütken developed her monumental figure style, becoming a distinctive contributor to Danish painting.

She frequently used her mother and grandmother as models, her female figures extending over most of the painting surface.

Her figures are usually combined with details such as the side of a chair leg or a table top, resulting in their appearance as part of a spatial whole.
