Paul Gadegaard (Nov. 17, 1920 - 1996) was a Danish Concretist artist, who did workplace art installations for a number of Danish factories in the post-War era. He used bright colors that came ‘off the wall’ and onto furniture, floors and workbenches, creating a three-dimensional work the people moved about and worked in.Gadegaard studied at the Danish Academy during WWII and had to flee to Sweden for his Resistance activities in 1944. Immediately after the War he went to Paris to study with André Lhote and he exhibited with Denise René’s gallery. He joined the artists’ group Linien II in 1949.Above: Composition, 1964 (heart, Herning) -- source link
