Otto Frello (April 6, 1924 - 2015) was a Danish artist who began his career as an illustrator of non-fiction works and encyclopedias. At age 50 he decided he was done and started painting fantastic, surrealist scenes from Copenhagen and other urban and landscape settings, all with more than a twist of magical realism.

Frello was from Varde and many of his works are now housed in a museum there that carries his name.

One of the most underrated Danish artist I have come across, is Kay Nielsen, 1886-1957. Kay was the child of 2 Danish actors, and became an illustrator himself. Visiting Paris, London, New York and settling in Los Angeles, he tried to write about fairytales, mythology and anything in-between. His style is reminisced of the jugendstilen, from which his works get a very unique and special touch. Personally, I relate him a lot to the Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano, 1951-, whose style gives the same dreamy feeling. Nielsens works are mostly seen in books like East of The Sun - West of The Moon, however he also worked on the section in the Disney film Fantasia, involving Night on Bald Mountain. Properly most obscure, he also had some illustrations in erotic novels, that´s increasingly hard to find today. Here´s a small pick for some of my favorite illustrations form this amazing, underrepresented artist. Read more about Kay Nielsen here:
