| Robert Jacobsen, a Danish sculptor, was bom in 1912 in Copenhagen. Thanks to a grant from the French government, Jacobsen arrived in Paris in 1947. He lived in the Centre for Danish artists at Suresnes, like his compatriot, Richard Mortensen, who introduced him into the circle of the Denise René Gallery. J.D. and Jacobsen soon became friends. The latter introduced J.D. to several Danish dealers, among them, Birch, then Hybler - who showed his work on many occasions and to the lithographic printer Christian Sorensen, who printed half of his |
lithographs. Jacobsen also invited him to the major exhibitions of abstract art in Scandinavia (see § Copenhagen). When J.D. went to Denmark, he generally stayed at Valby, with Jacobsen's parents. On the other hand, Jacobsen owed his appointment in 1962 to a professorship of sculpture at the Munich Academy to J.D. They both did their best to stay in Bavaria at the same time. Today, J.D.tomb in the cemetery of Gordes is surmounted by an iron sculture by Jacobsen. | ||||||
