Biography
Peter Carlsen, Claus Carstensen and Dorte Dahlin are recorded as having studied under Sven Dalsgaard. The recorded working language is Danish. Work by Sven Dalsgaard is recorded in the collections of Museum of Modern Art and Statens Museum for Kunst. Distinctions recorded are Thorvaldsen Medal.
Born in Vorup near Randers, Dalsgaard was self-taught as a painter. His earliest paintings are Naturalistic but around 1934 he was inspired by Wassily Kandinsky and Paul Klee to paint more Abstract works. He debuted at the Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling in 1943. Inspired by Marcel Duchamp, he embarked on Surrealism in the 1940s but moved into a simpler, more stylized approach in the 1950s, producing tall thin sculptures which he soon included in his paintings, for example Kristus fra Randers 1 (Christ from Randers 1, 1954).
