Page "Föhr" Paragraph 39

Oluf Braren ( 1787 – 1839 ), a naïve art painter, was born in Oldsum.

Although largely ignored during his lifetime his art became eventually popular in the 20th century.

Today there are several professional artists working on Föhr and in Alkersum there is a museum that exhibits notable international artists such as Emil Nolde, Edvard Munch or Max Liebermann.
