Hans Scherfig
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Scherfig (1905 - 1979) was a renowned Danish author and artist.
His most famous works of literature include Stolen Spring, Frydenholm, Idealists, and The Scorpion, the last of which was published in over 20 countries. He is also well-known for his distinctive Naivist lithographs which depict jungle and savanna scenes that owe something to Henri Rousseau, and various drawings and paintings with satirical, political, and biblical subject matter. Politically, Scherfig was a diehard Stalinist and highly critical of America and its policies, and was imprisoned by the Nazi government during Denmark's occupation in WWII.
