Alternative Painting Schools
During the period 1871-1879, Kyhn’s studio became a gathering place for a group of young, dissatisfied artists and Academy students called the "Huleakademiet" ("The Den Academy"), which eventually led to the formation in 1882 of The Artists' Independent Studio Schools ("Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler").
During this period, between 1865 and 1895, he also operated the Painting School for Women ("Tegneskolen for Kvinder"), at a time when women did not have access to the Academy. More than 75 women trained under him, including Anna Ancher, Johanne Krebs, Emilie Mundt, Marie Luplau, and Emmy Thornam.

Famous quotes containing the words alternative, painting and/or schools:
“Our mother gives us our earliest lessons in love—and its partner, hate. Our father—our “second other”Melaborates on them. Offering us an alternative to the mother-baby relationship . . . presenting a masculine model which can supplement and contrast with the feminine. And providing us with further and perhaps quite different meanings of lovable and loving and being loved.”
—Judith Viorst (20th century)
“No painting is more replete than Mondrian’s.”
—Samuel Beckett (1906–1989)
“The shrewd guess, the fertile hypothesis, the courageous leap to a tentative conclusion—these are the most valuable coin of the thinker at work. But in most schools guessing is heavily penalized and is associated somehow with laziness.”
—Jerome S. Bruner (b. 1915)
