of Corner and Host and exhibited with them.
In 1949 he joined Cobra and participated in some of their exhibitions.
He developed an international reputation exhibiting across Europe

appointed a Knight of Dannebrog in 1968.
On his passing in 1993, Henry Heerup was interred in the Assistens
Kirkegard in the Norrebro section of Copenhagen.
The paintings are the excellent portrayal of the events and scenes
that we see around us. The painters are the best cameras of the
world. They reproduce many different types of pictures. They even
draw imaginary pictures that do not exist in this world. We tend
to use both thinned oil paints and dense oil paints. Masterpieces
can be dyed more than once, but each time it may be different from
the existing paintings.h
