Achton Johannes Friis (1871-1939) war ein bekannter Maler und Illustrator. Er wurde am 5. September 1871 in Trustrup, Lyngby Sogn, Provinz Randers, geboren und verstarb am 17. Dezember 1939 in Kopenhagen. Seine Mutter, Maren F. Fries, war die Tochter eines Bauern und heiratete am 15. Dezember 1909 in Kopenhagen die Geigerin Martha Elster. Martha wurde am 17. September 1879 in derselben Stadt geboren und verstarb schlie\u00dflich am 28. Februar 1966 in Frederiksberg. Sie war die Tochter von Kapit\u00e4n Chr. Gregers E. und Lovise Augusta Petersen, die wohlhabend waren.<\/p>\n
Achton Friis war ein vielseitiger Mensch, der die Qualit\u00e4ten eines Landwirts mit einem aristokratischen Auftreten verband. Diese einzigartige Mischung erm\u00f6glichte es ihm, obwohl er auf keinem Gebiet \u00fcberragend begabt war, ein Leben zu f\u00fchren, das sowohl hingebungsvoll als auch au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlich sinnvoll war. W\u00e4hrend der d\u00e4nischen Expedition mit Mylius-Erichsen entdeckte er sein Talent als Schriftsteller und bildender K\u00fcnstler, tief bewegt von den Landschaften an der Nordostk\u00fcste Gr\u00f6nlands. Er schuf eine Reihe von lebendigen und eindrucksvollen Landschaftsbildern sowie ge\u00e4tzte und gemalte Portr\u00e4ts, unter anderem von seinem Freund J\u00f8rgen Br\u00f8nlund. Diese Werke wurden in Mylius-Erichsens B\u00fcchern \u00fcber Gr\u00f6nland abgebildet.<\/p>\n
Neben seinen k\u00fcnstlerischen Beitr\u00e4gen verfasste und illustrierte Friis auch Reisebeschreibungen, wie in seinem Buch „Arctic Hunter“. Seine wahre Gabe bestand jedoch darin, die vielf\u00e4ltige Sch\u00f6nheit D\u00e4nemarks mit den Augen eines K\u00fcnstlers einzufangen.
