Robert Jacobsen

Robert Jacobsen is a Sculpteur Danish born the June 4th 1912 with Copenhagen and deceased in the January 26th 1993.

It did not make any study artistic, alive in its youth of small very diverse work.

After the war it came to Paris and carried out welded iron sculptures there. He even says him: " The welding was my chance. Thus I became a sculptor of scrap. It is all, it does not have there to embroider, nor of beautiful stories to be invented. With the stone, you vogues between the forms. With iron, you know the form, you choose the espace."

In 1950 first exposure.

In 1966 it receives the Grand Prix of the Biennale de Venise.

In the years 1970 it returns to Denmark to honor with the public orders. A large statue of him is permanently exposed in front of the station of Copenhagen.

Jacobsen had the genius to carry out splendid abstract statues with sheet plates, kind which generally gives cumbersome and pretentious objects. At his place, on the contrary metal delimits volumes of shade and vacuum of a rare harmony, and which carry to think.
