Per Aass Deberitz (also Peder Deberitz, born 27 March 1880 – 14 October 1945) was a Norwegian painter. He was regarded as a neo-impressionist and was also a pupil of Henri Matisse during the years of his stay in Paris from 1909 to 1910.
Deberitz was born in Drøbak, Norway, the son of master mason Carl Ludvig Deberitz and Emilie Aass. When he was two years old, Deberitz's family moved to the village of Borre in Horten, 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 1899 Deberitz was a pupil of Oscar Wergeland at the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (Kunst- og Håndverksskole) in Kristiania. In the summers of 1899 and 1900, he also had lessons from the romanticist painter Hans Gude at the latter's “Sølvkronen” villa in Horten. During the winters of 1903–1904 and 1906–1907 he was at Artists Studio School (Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler) in Copenhagen, often known as “Kristian Zahrtmann's school”, because of the prominence of that teacher.
In 1904 he married Valborg Holmsen, daughter of landowner Aslak Holmsen. After the dissolution of that marriage, in 1909 he remarried Selma Harriet Aas (born 14 November 1876), daughter of brewery owner Poul Lauritz Aass and Christine Sophie Landmark.
In a period from 1906 to 1945, he placed three works with the National Art Exhibition (Høstutstillingen). Deberitz broke through at the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition at Frogner with, among others, his work Badende gutter (Bathing Boys, 1914). Here he exhibited together with leading artists of the time, including Henrik Sørensen, Axel Revold, Per Krohg and Jean Heiberg.
