About Ragnhild Kaarbø

She was also influenced by Cubism, but as her cubistic paintings were criticized by the press, she eventually focused on impressionistic landscape paintings. He founded several businesses and fostered development of the local shipping industry. In 1918, she held her first solo exhibition in the Artists' Association in Kristiania (now Oslo). Kaarbø attended a boarding school in Celle, Germany, and decided to pursue a career in art.
