Mrs. Kamma Madsen and Mr. and Mrs. Eduard and Ellen Jørgensen, Hotel Dania, Silkeborg. Acquired directly from the artist and not previously offered in public sale. Letter from the hotel owner Ellen Jorgensen is included: "In Asger Jorn's later years, he often stayed at Hotel Dania, Silkeborg. In connection with one of these stays he offers my husband, Eduard Jørgensen, the chance to purchase one of his paintings. My husband buys it while he is employed as a director. My husband buys the hotel from Mrs. Kamma Madsen in 1960, when the picture still hangs in our restaurant. Asger Jorn often comes for a visit in Silkeborg, and on one occasion he offers to buy back the picture at twice the purchasing price! But by then the picture was not for sale". The painting was created in connection with - and in its motif related to - the two earlier masterpieces and monumental series "Årstiderne" (The Seasons) (1948-1953) and the series "Af den stumme myte" (On the Silent Myth) at Silkeborg Public Library. It was painted during and around the artist's stay at Silkeborg Sanatorium. Paintings from this period, often populated with the so-called 'Aganakker' - threatening or smiling animal creatures - are often described as a highlight of Jorn's Nordic painting, before he left Denmark.
