Beginning in 1917, Karl Larsen participated in numerous exhibitions in France and Denmark including the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition (1919-20), the Salon d'Automne, Paris (1922) and the Scandinavian-French exhibition at Maison Watteau, Paris (1923). The artist's name is strongly linked with the avant-garde group 'The Four' who represented the cutting-edge of Modernism in 1920's Denmark. With the help of scholarships, (Stoltenberg 1921; Zach and Jacobsen, 1924), Larsen remained in Paris, studying and painting from 1923-27. In 1926, he received the Academy Fellowship and, in 1929, he was awarded the Vilhelm Pacht studio apartment for life which enabled him to continue painting without concern for public approval. In his later years, Larsen was sought after as a portrait painter. He also mastered and taught a variety of other media including sculpture, graphics, marquetry, mosaic and stained glass. Karl Larsen is among the most prominent of Denmark's early-20th-century modernists and his work may be found in the permanent collections of national museums including the National Museum of Art, The Museum of Art and Design and the National Gallery in Oslo.
