Stalingrad (painting)
''Stalingrad'' is an oil painting by the Danish artist Asger Jorn depicting the futility of war. Considered to be one of Denmark's artistic masterpieces, it was included in the 2006 Danish Culture Canon. The canvas, 296 x 492 cm, now hangs in Museum Jorn, Silkeborg.〔("Stalingrad, 1957–1972, Asger Jorn (1914–1973)" ), in Kulturkontacten 20, 2006. Retrieved 11 February 2013.〕
==Background==
In the 1950s, after a long and difficult period in hospital suffering from tuberculosis, Jorn had embarked on figurative painting hoping to establish himself at the European level. He often reacted against the works, overpainting the edges or the background. By 1956, he had set up a studio in the little Italian town of Albisola near Genoa where he began to compose a large painting he called ''La ritirata di Russia'' (The Retreat from Russia). The painting had been inspired by stories told by his friend Umberto Gambetta, who had fought with the Italians in the dreadful Battle of Stalingrad (1942–1943) before spending years in Russian prisoner-of-war camps from which few survived. The canvas had detailed these events to such an extent that Gambetta referred to it as "my portrait". Jorn ensured that all such personal references were covered over so as to enhance the work's universal significance.〔(Troels Andersen, translated by Peter Shield, "Asger Jorn — An Introduction" ), Fondation Hermitage. Retrieved 11 February 2013.〕〔("Stalingrad, le non-lieu où le fou-rire du courage" ), Museum Jorn. Retrieved 11 February 2013.〕 He then titled it ''Le fou rire'' (sometimes translated The Mad Laughter) and sent it off to Brussels where a collector had shown interest in a large painting by Jorn. In fact it was acquired by the restaurant owner Albert Niels who allowed Jorn to come and work on it further. It was also seen by the Dutch museum expert Willem Sandberg who arranged for it to be sent to the Seattle World Fair in 1961. In that connection, it was renamed ''Stalingrad''.〔
