#Dagmar Cohn

[transpondster]

Every year around this time, when the air in New York City gets so cold that the tip of my nose starts to burn and my socks are always just a little bit damp, my fingers lead me to type “Freuchen and Dagmar” into a Google Images search bar. I cannot remember when I first encountered the photograph that pops up, an Irving Penn portrait, from 1947, of the six-foot-seven-inch Danish explorer Peter Freuchen and his diminutive third wife, a Vogue fashion illustrator named Dagmar Cohn (later, Dagmar Freuchen-Gale). But I know that I have got great pleasure from the vintage image over the years. For one thing, look at the proportions! He is so large, swaddled in a colossal polar-bear coat, and she is so tiny, in her pert black suit and pearls, her one extravagance (a hat with a bow and netting, the millinery trend in those days) dwarfed by his opulent pelage. And then there are their expressions. His: leathered and intimidating, as if he were staring down a predator he intends to harpoon. Hers: complacent, demure, almost bored. She is perched, rather uncomfortably, on a bolt of scratchy cloth (a Penn motif), while he looms over the image, stepping forward on one leg as if he is about to lunge through the lens. The two don’t touch; if you cut the photograph in half, you might think they were in different rooms, different seasons, or even different centuries. All of this makes Penn’s photograph my favorite winter image, and also one of my favorite photographs of a marriage.

The Arctic explorer Peter Freuchen and his chic wife, Dagmar Cohn, who was a fashion illustrator for Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

The 6’7” Freuchen (1886-1957), was a Danish-born explorer, famous for exploring Greenland as a member of The Thule Expeditions (1910-1924). During WWII, he was an active member of the Danish Resistance, even being imprisoned and sentenced to die by the Germans. In this instance, Freuchen escaped and fled to Sweden.

In New York in 1945, Freuchen met Danish fashion magazine illustrator Dagmar Cohn, and the two of them married, remaining together until Freuchen’s death in 1957.

When SVTFOE ended I had more than a dozen fanart ideas waiting in line due to my lack of free time. After the finale I no longer feel compelled to finish (or ever start most of) them, but there are four pieces where I had reached point of making a serious sketch and I feel it'd be a waste not to post them.

Sketch 1 of 4. River Johannsen and Moon Butterfly reimagined like as explorer Peter Freuchen and his wife author/illustrator Dagmar Cohn. He wasn't just a badass looking explorer. He was an anthropologist who advocated for Inuit rights and culture, and was also an active member of the Danish resistance against Nazi occupation.

Sketch 2 of 4. Eclipsa (in all her femme fatale glory) and Moon star in the cover of a pulp horror themed magazine that would've been called HORROR STORIES, and the specific issue would've been titled SHE MARRIED A MONSTER! I wanted it to be a lineless art in the vein of Fallout's collectable comics, but to be honest, I think such level of art is beyond my current skills.

Sketch 3 of 4. Marco and Brunzetta in the quest where they defeated the scorpion made of burning skulls at the Neverzone. Scorpion design by the always great @malthuswibble .

Sketch 4 of 4 is a comic and I will actually finish one detail on the sketch before assembly and post. For the most part, the only thing missing is a magic catterpillar in two panels...
