Poul Gernes – Untitled - dot (1966-68)

The Louisiana poster features Untitled - dot (1962-68) by Danish artist Poul Gernes (1925-1996), a key figure in Denmark’s post-war art scene. Gernes revolutionized the perception of art and the artist's role in society, prioritizing accessibility and emotional impact over intellectual interpretation. His vibrant, large-scale public works, like the Palads cinema and Herlev Hospital, reflect his belief in art’s power to bring joy.

While known for his colorful aesthetics, Gernes also had a confrontational and critical side. Rooted in constructivism, both artistically and politically, he played a central role in the Ex-school (1961-1972), which reshaped contemporary Danish art. This era marked Denmark’s transition to a welfare state, fostering artistic experimentation—an evolution in which Louisiana Museum was also involved.
