Excerpt: Reidar Aulie (13 March 1904 – 23 November 1977) was a Norwegian artist.(Submitted on July 1, 2023.)
He became best known for the art produced during the Second World War. Aulie had a significant production in the years 1940-45, during periods spent hiding on a small farm owned by his in-laws in Eidsberg. Aulie's main production year was 1943 when he painted the important war pictures of subjects that would not be tolerated by German censorship. His notable work, entitled 9. april 1940, tells of the invasion which resulted in the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany. In the winter of 1945, he was sent to Grini concentration camp.
In 1950 he painted Arbeiderbevegelsens historie, a fresco of the labor movement's history, in Oslo City Hall. His last two decades were marked by the teaching duties, first as professor from 1958 and later as rector from 1965 at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts. In 1964, he received the Swedish Prince Eugen Medal by the King of Sweden for outstanding artistic work.
