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:
“No alternative to the
one-man path.”
—Denise Levertov (b. 1923)
“I have heard that stiff people lose something of their awkwardness under high ceilings, and in spacious halls. I think, sculpture and painting have an effect to teach us manners, and abolish hurry.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
