I cannot do it alone – want to join in?

Poul Gernes (1925-1996) is one of the truly Danish artists of the post-war generation, known widely for his large public decorations.

Poul Gernes came from the Constructivist tradition – politically as well as artistically – and at the beginning of the 1960s was a pivotal figure in the Eks-Skole, the group of avant-gardists who with a single blow dominated not only their own time, but the subsequent writing of art history with new methods, new materials and a new conception of the role of art and artists in society.
