Biography: 
4.6.1912 Born in København (DK)
Before the Second World War Jacobsen worked in wood and stone, but after settling in Paris in 1947 he turned his attentions to abstract welded steel constructions in which line and form are brought spontaneously into balance with each other to produce a rhythmic elegance. In so doing he was following an artistic trail originally blazed by the Spanish sculptor Gonzalez in the period before the war.
Jacobsen has often been linked to «CoBrA» because of his friendship with Mortensen and Jorn, although this is not entirely correct. Formally he belonged to the group of abstract artists around the famous Parisian gallery owner Denise René, who was later to make Vasarely’s «Op-Art» one of the greatest movements of its time. In 1955, after Jacobsem had already acquired considerable international recognition, the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam honoured him with a stunning retrospective.
His oeuvre can be divided in two genres: welded metal figures made in his «free time» and the more profound abstract constructions. Jacobsen painted these latter structures black, giving them the appearance of spatial drawings. From the later 1950’s his work becomes tauter, more compact and more prolific. All the major international museums of modern art include early works by Jacobsen in their collections.
26.1.1993 Died in Tågelund (DK)
