Jørn Larsen

He was admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1951 but left after completing just one semester to go to Italy.

Over the next couple of years he travelled abundantly in Europe, spending his time mainly in France, Spain, Greece and Turkey.

A stay in eastern Greenland during 1959 and 1960 inspired him to paint a series of pictures known as the Kutdleq Suite after his return home.

[1] From 1962 he developed a black-and-white geometrical style and created both objects and sculptures in various materials, including marble, granite and steel.

[2] Jørn Larsen's works include a steel sculpture for Odense University (1974–76) and floor decorations for the Royal Danish Theatre (1992).
