Reidar Aulie

Reidar Aulie (1904–1977) was a Norwegian painter whose narrative pictures often addressed social injustice and working life. He studied under Christian Krohg in 1924 and Axel Revold in 1925–1926. Kunstnernes Hus documents his 1954 retrospective and work on decorative commissions. Stavanger Kunstmuseum describes the influence of German Neue Sachlichkeit and Soviet socialist realism on his development. Nasjonalmuseet dates Demonstrasjon to 1929; this does not identify it with the differently titled works shown in Geneva in 1933.

BasArt separately documents exhibition activity in 1933. Those catalogue connections remain; no current holding or exact object identity is inferred.
