Sven Haysteen-Mikkelsen [ 1st Part (1967/1976) ]

[Denmark] (b 1912/d 1999)


" Haysteen-Mikkelsen studied art under Olivian Holm Møller (1929), Fritz Syberg (1929–1932), P. Rostrup Bøyesen (1932–1933) and Oluf Høst (1932–1933). He also spent short periods at the Norwegian Academy under Per Krohg (1933–1934) and at the Danish Academy under Elof Risebye (1942–1943) (...) His art and interests were deeply rooted in the Nordic countries. Under the influence of Ejnar Mikkelsen and thanks to early voyages to the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland, he was confronted while still young with subjects he would maintain throughout his life. He became especially interested in the age-old landscapes of the North, still free of the detrimental effects of civilisation. (...) From the 1950s, he became a central figure for church decoration in Denmark, completing altarpieces and religious works (...) and His work extended to stained glass windows which he often created with his son, the architect Alan Havsteen-Mikkelsen. (...) He also illustrated several books.. (...) Another aspect of his illustrative work was postage stamp design. Together with his son Alan, he was the originator of an annual series of four or five stamps depicting different parts of Denmark (1974–1981). He also participated in earlier series (1970–1973) covering ships, architecture and frescos. Havsteen-Mikkelsen received many awards for his work including the Eckersberg Medal in 1960[1] and the Thorvaldsen Medal in 1995.
