Carl Nesjar
Carl Nesjar (né Carlsen; 6 July 1920 – 23 May 2015) was a Norwegian painter, sculptor and graphic artist. He is best known for his collaborations with Pablo Picasso; serving for nearly twenty years as Picasso's chosen fabricator — the artist who turned Picasso's drawings and scale models into large public sculptures. One such work was Picasso's Regjeringskvartalet murals which are located in Oslo, the city where Nesjar lived for most of his life. He is also known for his series of "Ice Fountains” which can be found in cities around the world.
==Life and career==
Born Carl Carlsen in Larvik, Nesjar was raised in Southern Norway and in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. He studied art at the Pratt Institute, Columbia University, and in Oslo and Paris. Towards the beginning of his career he assumed the name 'Nesjar', the Norse word for the coastal area around Larvik.
Nesjar collaborated with architect Erling Viksjø on a particular concrete sculpting method called Betograve.The introduction of this technique to Picasso led to a lasting collaboration between the two, starting with the realization of a version of the sculpture ''Tête de femme'' in gravel and concrete in 1958.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Head of a Woman (Tête de femme) )〕 Over the next 15 years Nesjar and Picasso created more than 30 sculptures together. Examples of their work can be found on the campuses of New York University, Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as in public spaces in Norway, France, Spain and Israel among other nations.
Nesjar died in Oslo on 23 May 2015 at the age of 94.
