Edvard Weie

Viggo Thorvald Edvard Weie (18 November 1879 - 9 April 1943) was a Danish Modernist painter.

When he came of age, he went to Copenhagen to apply for admission to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, but was not accepted.

After Isakson's early death in 1922, Weie made an extensive study of his uses of color, and applied what he learned to his own works.

[2][4] He had begun by painting works with a mythological or literary basis, but later came to favor street scenes and views of Copenhagen harbor.

He was awarded the Eckersberg Medal in 1925, but he was not a member of any artistic movement and contributed numerous harsh critical pieces to newspapers and magazines that served to isolate him from his peers.
