Kirsten Kjær (Nov. 14, 1893 - 1985) was a delightful, autodidact Danish painter, who since 1981 has had her own museum in the small town of Frøstrup. She traveled extensively - often to hot-spots of conflict and controversy - including Liberia, USA, Iceland and post-WWII Poland…
She also tried out her hand at writing and acting, but mainly hung out in Bohemian circles in Denmark and abroad, doing portraits of the interesting people she met, such actors and actresses.
