Guie stoier i rom (Yellow chairs in a room), by Peer Lorentz Dahi. Oil on canvas, bought by Nasjonalgalleriet<br />

(The National Gallery) in 1977.<br />

Peer Lorentz DahI was born in Bergen, <strong>Norway</strong> 7 November 1915. He had his debut at the State Annual<br />

Autumn Exhibition in 1935. in the 1 960s and 1 970s, space construction became important in<br />

his paintings. The paintings are developed with a clear, marked geometric centre, and contours divide<br />

surfaces in a number of non-naturalistic planes. DahI focuses on representation of atmospheric spatial<br />

effects within the boundaries of variations in light colour scale and an evenly distributed light. The<br />

abstraction between the geometric construction of a room and the atmospheric reproduction is evident<br />

in his paintings. His works are characterised by a marked and personal style.<br />
