Niels Strøbek
Niels Strøbek (born October 14, 1944 ) is a painter and graphic artist, primarily known for his super-realist paintings and portraits. Niels Strøbek received his education from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts which he attended from 1962 to 1967, studying under spontaneous-abstract painter Professor Egill Jacobsen. Strøbek is considered one of the leading artists within the Danish super-realist art movement. The super-realist art movement had its breakthrough in Danish art in the early 1970s and was influenced by American photo-realism. However, Strøbek had already begun to paint realistically in 1965, and his detailed realism was rooted in European art, i.e. the Italian Renaissance, Spanish Baroque, or the Danish Golden Age, rather than in the photograph.

Royal Danish Academy Of Fine Arts
The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts () has provided education in the arts for more than 250 years, playing its part in the development of the art of Denmark. History The Royal Danish Academy of Portraiture, Sculpture, and Architecture in Copenhagen was inaugurated on 31 March 1754, and given as a gift to the King Frederik V on his 31st birthday. Its name was changed to the Royal Danish Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture in 1771. At the same event, Johann Friedrich Struensee introduced a new scheme in the academy to encourage artisan apprentices to take supplementary classes in drawing so as to develop the notion of "good taste". The building boom resulting from the Great Fire of 1795 greatly profited from this initiative. In 1814 the name was changed again, this time to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. It is still situated in its original building, the Charlottenborg Palace, located on the Kongens Nytorv in Copenhagen. The School of Architecture has be ...

Egill Jacobsen
Egill Jacobsen (16 December 1910 – 21 April 1998) was a Danish painter who became a professor at the Royal Danish Academy. Biography Born in Copenhagen, Jacobsen studied painting at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts under Kræsten Iversen and Peder Hald (1932-33). His earliest paintings were inspired by traditional Danish landscape painting under the influence of Albert Gottschalk but after visiting Paris in 1934 when he experienced the work of Matisse and Picasso, he began to create Abstract images of brightly coloured beak-shaped masked figures inspired by ethnographic art. He went on to paint a series of works devoid of any motifs in which colour was the only criterion for expression. From 1940, he produced more masked images with geometrical shapes depicting teeth, eggs and other such features in pure spectral colours. His ''Græshoppedans'' (Grasshopper Dance, 1941) depicts simplied figures in a work suggesting the culmination of high summer. Awards In 1959, Jacob ...
