Victor Brockdorff

Arthur Victor Schack von Brockdorff, generally known as Victor Brockdorff, (October 11, 1911 – February 25, 1992) was a Danish painter who joined the artists' colony known as the Odsherred Painters in Northwestern Zealand in the early 1930s.

Typical subjects included children playing on the pavement, people waiting at bus stops, and rainy street scenes.

Increasingly, his works took on a political slant, especially the monumental paintings he completed for the Communist Party's congress in 1952.

He continued to be an active painter, producing strikingly colourful interiors, such as Eremitagesletten and Fluepapiret ved Charlottenlund in 1974.

Brockdorff also painting portraits, such as one of Queen Margrethe for the Søofficerforeningen (Naval Officers Association).
