Dea Trier Mørch – Vinterbørn - Winter Children (1976)

Louisiana poster with the work, Winter Children (1976), by the Danish visual artist, Dea Trier Mørch, (1949-2001). For many who visited Louisiana's exhibition, Ind i Verden, with Dea Trier Mørch's graphic works in 2019, it was a nostalgic reunion. For a younger generation, it was new and eye-opening.

With the book Vinterbørn from 1976, and the images of births and women giving birth, Trier Mørch added a completely new dimension to an image culture where this common human condition has been astonishingly untold.

Where death is a widespread theme in the visual arts, the beginning of life itself is a motif that only gained greater artistic attention with feminism.

Trier Mørch began as a visual artist and was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts' painting school at the age of 16. She won the Golden Laurels for the novel, Winter Children, in 1976 and she co-founded the artists' collective, Røde Mor, in 1969.
