This color lithograph in bright colors shows a mask-like face with a round head, circular eyes and hinted nose and mouth. The design of the mask pervades the artist's oeuvre, since he sought inspiration in African folk art after his move to Paris in 1932. The simplicity and archetypal form of masks fascinated him. In 1936 he exhibited the first mask images.

The lithograph in colors is signed lower right in pencil ‘Egill Jacobsen’ and inscribed lower left in pencil ‘E.A.’. The sheet is in very good condition and hinged at the reverse upper edge into a mat. The frame indicates slight signs of wear. The image measures 51.8 x 38.5 cm, the sheet 65 x 48.7 cm. The framed dimensions are 74.5 x 58.5 cm.

Egill Jacobsen (1910 – 1998)

The Danish painter Egill Jacobsen was part of the CoBrA-Movement. The artists in this movement used their art to work against academic and societal norms to reinvigorate Expressionism with the stylistic devices of the Informel. Jacobson was inspired by Picasso and developed his own expressionistic style. In 1959 he became professor at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen. (fea)
