This retrospective exhibition entitled "Samlede arbeider" (collected works) was an exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus in the period 23 April to 16 May 1932 which showed the collected works of the Norwegian artist Oluf Wold-Torne (1867-1919). The included art was produced between 1883 and 1919. The exhibition contained paintings, watercolors and drawings painted/drawn by the artist, as well as tapestry and embroidery with motifs designed by the artist. His style is strongly influenced by the art of, among others, Cézanne and Vincent Van Gogh. The tapestries and embroideries he designed have, in contrast to the paintings, a more ornamental style.

Catalog text

Oluf Wold-Torne

Han forenet alt som en sann og stor Kunstner skal være uttrykk for: Ild, utholdenhet og søken.
Han hadde alt det, som gjør et menneske uforglemmeligt: Godhet, hjerte og hjælpsomhet.
Derfor er det heller ingen mann mere levende den dag i dag blandt os end han.
Det å møte ham - var å elske ham.

-Henrik Sørensen
