Robert Jacobsen (b. Copenhagen 1912, d. Egtved 1993)
Relief, 1949–51. Stamped R.J. Black painted iron. 40×57×38 cm.
“Drawing in Iron” is an interesting example of Robert Jacobsen's desire to relate to space in a searching way, here perceived as a movement that is concretized from the wall surface and in relation to the space. The shadow play of the iron reliefs on the wall becomes part of the spatial experience.
