Ragnhild Kaarbø (26 December 1889 – 20 August 1949) was a Norwegian painter. [1]

Biography

She was born at Harstad in Troms, Norway. She was one of thirteen children born to Rikard Kaarbø and Anna Elisabeth Lund.[2] Her father was a successful businessman who was associated with the establishment of the town of Halstad. He founded several businesses and fostered development of the local shipping industry. [3]

Kaarbø attended a boarding school in Celle, Germany and decided to pursue a career in art. She studied at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Kristiania (now Oslo), and further with Henrik Sørensen and Harriet Backer, and with expressionist Kees van Dongen in Paris. In 1918, she held her first solo exhibition in the Artists' Association in Kristiania (now Oslo).[4]

Between 1920 and 1930 she stayed mainly in Paris where she followed the teaching of several noted artists, including Andre Lhote and Pedro Araujo. Between 1925-1927 she was a student of Fernand Léger and Amédée Ozenfant at the Académie Modern. [5]

She participated in several exhibitions, including two works at the Salon d'automne in 1922 and attended the Exposition Académie Moderne Exhibition at the Gallery of Art Contemporain in 1926 and at the Exposition de l'Académie Moderne Léger Ozenfant in the Gallery Aubier in 1927. Among her works at the National Gallery of Norway are Komposisjon med hode from 1925 and Fra Siena from 1937.[2][6][7]
