Pierre Olofsson

Pierre Olofsson (1921 - 1996) was active/lived in Sweden.  Pierre Olofsson is known for Painting.

Pierre Olofsson was educated at Otte Sköld's painting school and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He was one of the founders of the important group "1947 men", which included Lage Lindell and fellow student Lennart Rodhe. Olofsson was the only one of the men of 1947 who remained a pure concretist.

Olofsson was impressed by Paul Klee, whose art led him to a geometric construction of rotating rounds. Through the alternating placement of the ovals and spirals, Pierre Olofsson achieved an illusion of movement and at the same time used color contrasts to create a room effect. Olofsson pursues the concretists' idea that art should be coordinated with our daily lives.

From a playful, cubic painting, Pierre reached a non-figurative art at the end of the 1940s, which he then largely continues with. In addition to his career as a painter, graphic artist and sculptor, Pierre Olofsson was in demand as a color painter for the industry.
