Folmer Bonnén
Folmer Bonnén (17 February 1885 – 10 October 1960) was a Danish painter and journalist. He was one of the founding members of the grouping of modern artists known as De Tretten where, in 1909, he exhibited a large colourful painting Ungdom i aftensol (Youth in the Evening Sun), causing quite a stir. Kristian Zahrtmann immediately supported the daring work, rewarding Bonnén with a stipendium.
