Per Deberitz was a Norweigan painter. He was regarded as a neo-impressionist and was a pupil of Henri Matisse during the year of his stay in Paris from 1909 to 1910.
Deberitz was born in Drobak Norway, the son of master mason Carl Ludvig Deberitz and Emelie Aass. When he was two years old, his family moved to the village of Borre on Horton, Vestfold, where he grew up. The famed painter Edvard Munch, who had rented lodgings with the family during the summers of 1885 and 1886 lent painting materials to the boy and encouraged his artistic efforts.
From 1898 to 1889, Deberitz was a pupil of Oscar Wergeland and the Norweigan National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (Kunst-og Handverksskole) in Kristiana. In the summers of 1899 and 1900, he also received lessons from the romanticist painter Hans Gude at the latter's "Solvkronen" villa in Horton. During the winters of 1903-1904 and 1906-1907 he attended Artists Studio School (Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler) in Copenhagen often known as "Kristian Zahrtmann's School" because of the prominence of that instructor. From 1909 to 1910 Deberitz lived in Paris as a student of Henri Matisse.
Between 1906 to 1944 Deberitz placed three works with the National Art Exhibition (Hostutstillingen). He broke through at the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition at Frogner with his work "The Bathing Boys", (1914). There he exhibited with leading artists of the time, including Henrick Sorensen, Axel Revold, Per Krohg, and Jean Heilberg.
Deberitz's works include significant landscapes and are situated within a French modernist, neo-impressionist tradition. He was a member of Bildende Kunstnere Styre, todat known as Norske Billed Kunstnere (Norway's Visual Artists) from 1916 to 1925, and also served on the advisory board and procurement committee for Norway's National Gallery. His works have been exhibited in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Austria, the USA, Belgium, as well as with larger art societies in Norway. uring his lifetime, he headlined two solo exhibitions; at the Gallery Gauguin in Oslo (1929), and in Kunstnerforbundet (1931).
Pee Deberitz passed away in Oslo, Norway. Some of his works are presently in Norway's National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design, as well as in other museums in Stavanger, Lillehammer, Drammen, Bergen, Finland's Ateneum (Helsinski), and Sweden's Moderna Museet (Stockholm). He received the order of the Polar Star in 1923.
