Ludvig Eikaas

Ludvig Eikaas (20 December 1920 – 5 September 2010) was a Norwegian painter, graphic artist and sculptor.

Eikaas debuted at the National Exhibition Fall 1946 and distinguished himself quickly as one of postwar most original and important Norwegian artists.

Along with such Gunnar S. Gundersen and Odd Tandberg, he was part of the so-called Dødsgjengen, a group of intrepid and gifted young artists who were in the forefront of non-figurative art in Norway.

Working within non-figurative art, he is considered one of the most important Norwegian artists in the post-World War II era.
