ABOUT THE ARTIST

Halfred Tygesen was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1890 and moved to Canada in 1926.  He had attended art school in Denmark and became a member of the Danish Royal Academy.  In Canada, Tygesen introduced a technique for pastel "painting".  He travelled across the country painting scenes from Stanley Park in Vancouver to the Ontario countryside.  He also painted Danish landscapes and seascapes based on drawings he had done before he moved to Canada.  While he was quite prolific and sold through a wide variety of channels, including the Eaton College store, his paintings are becoming increasingly harder to come by.
Please note: We now only provide a Certificate of Authenticity with artwork bought at the full retail price. Whilst we are happy to receive offers, the resulatant sales are considered trade sales and for legal reasons, the trade purchaser is assumed to have the competency to authenticate the work themselves.
