Biography:
H.o. Bream got, as a number of other painters of his generation, the teaching of the French realist l. Bonnat. Anyway it was so-so with the innovative in his art. Well Paris staying 1879-80 resulted in a more direct angle and lighter color, yet differed not much from the conservative Blue motif believes he knew in Danish painting from 1850erne. Bream cultivated landscape, genre and animal painting, and often he chose the idyllic or comical tale and like the warm, hazy atmosphere around the Ford or the sunset over the glassy water. Brasens gracious motifs paired with comic skill and compositional ability won him great popularity outside of art's avant-garde.
