Lundstrøm, Vilhelm (Henry)
(b Sundbyerne, 26 May 1893; d Copenhagen, 9 May 1950). Danish painter. He trained as an artisan painter (1908–12), and he went to the Kunstakademi in Copenhagen, where he studied (1913–15) under Peter Rostrup-Bøyesen (1882–1952) among others. He made his début at the Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling (‘Artists’ Autumn Exhibition’) in Copenhagen in 1916 and exhibited there in subsequent years. Lundstrøm was a modernist, and with Svend Johansen (1890–1970), Axel Salto and Karl Larsen (1897–1977) he formed the group De Fire (the Four), active between 1920 and 1929. They were also all associated with the avant-garde periodical Klingen. Lundstrøm later took his place in the artistic establishment: from 1937 as a member of the Academy council, and from 1944 as a professor at the Kunstakademi.
