More information

Pierre Olofsson was born in 1921 in Paris and died in 1996. He grew up in Stockholm and was educated at Otte Sköld's painting school and at the Royal Institute of Art. He worked as a painter, printmaker, and sculptor. Olofsson was part of the "Men of 1947," which included, among others, Lage Lindell, Uno Vallman, and his fellow student Lennart Rodhe. Pierre was the only one of the Men of 1947 who remained a pure concrete artist. He was influenced by Paul Klee, whose art led him to a geometric construction of rotating discs. Through the alternating placement of ovals and spirals – in front and behind – he achieved an illusion of movement and at the same time utilized color contrasts to create a sense of space. Olofsson carried forward the concrete artists' idea that art should be coordinated with our daily lives.
