Peter Louis-Jensen
Born 1941-04-26 · Frederiksberg, Denmark
Peter Louis-Jensen was a Danish painter and multimedia artist. The avant-garde project of total integration of art and society eventually leads out of art, and Louis-Jensen was among those who took this route, although he made more stops along the way than most. He pioneered Minimalism and a kind of Pop-brut-structure painting as well as producing graphic work, assemblages, happenings, films, and sound works. Around 1970 this full creative palette exploded into political activism. If to some extent Louis-Jensen disappeared from the establishment radar due to his peregrinations in and outside of art, with his radicalism and impatience he always seemed to be present even by default or through sheer charisma.
