De Tretten
{{Short description|Danish artist group}}De Tretten (The Group of Thirteen), also De Tretten Kunstnere (The Thirteen Artists), was a grouping of young Danish artists who arranged their own exhibitions in Copenhagen from 1909 to 1912 in order to display works which would not have been accepted for exhibition by the then rather traditional Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.
Background
Based on the French model of the Salon des Refusés, De Tretten was founded on the initiative of Olaf Rude (who exhibited there in 1909 and 1910) and the critic Jens Pedersen. Rude had managed to obtain financial guarantees for the enterprise from those who had recently established themselves in the seaside resort of Marielyst on Falster which had been promoted as an artists colony along the lines of Skagen.[http://www.aabne-samlinger.dk/fuglsang/formidling/pdfer/Rude_undervisningsmateriale_laerer.pdf "Olaf Rude: Restrospektiv"]{{Dead link|date=July 2019 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 15 February 2013. Several, including Rude himself, had studied at the Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler under Kristian Zahrtmann who had broken away from the Academy into the developing trends of Naturalism and Realism.[https://www.kulturarv.dk/kid/VisWeilbach.do?kunstnerId=1144&wsektion=alle Erik Brodersen, "Kristian Zahrtmann"], Kunstindeks Danmark & Weilbachs kunstnerleksikon. {{in lang|da}} Retrieved 15 February 2013. Paintings exhibited at De Tretten were often in line with movements of the times such as Futurism and Post-Impressionism.
