I recently stumbled upon the work of Helge Ernst and thought I would share some of his paintings. I couldn't find much background information on him and most of what I did find was written in Danish. The following is what I could decipher; I apologize for any errors.
Helge Ernst was a Danish painter and illustrator born in Copenhagen on January 27, 1916. From what I have read, I believe he was a self taught artist. He began exhibiting his work in 1938 and was part of several group and solo exhibitions until 1990. During his career he was also a teacher, critic, book illustrator and art consultant. He passed away on January 8, 1991 in Grevinge, Denmark.

If you are interested in Helge Ernst's work, I found that Bruun Rasmussen Auctions in Denmark seem to have his pieces regularly, so I would check there first.
