The poster encourages people to visit a memorial exhibition with arts by Oluf Høst.

Oluf Høst (1884-1966 in Gudhjem) was a famous Danish painter who is characterized by expressionism but his pictures has also been called "lyrical realism" and "dark paintings". Today Høst has an entire museum dedicated to his art which is located in his house on the Danish island on Bornholm.

Louisiana (Danish Museum of Modern Art) is located in Humlebæk north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The museum was opened its doors in 1958 and with its approximately 600,000 annual visitors, is one of Denmark's most visited museums and among the ten most visited tourist attractions. Louisiana is a collection of contemporary art, but also an interaction between art, architecture and landscape.

Louisiana got his name from court master Alexander Brun, who built a villa on the site in 1855. The villa's name is probably inspired by the three women he married - all three were named Louise. The founder of Louisiana chose to keep the name from the country house he subsequently transformed into a museum. The villa is now a part of the museum.
