Jorge Eduardo Eielson

Jorge Eduardo Eielson (1924 - 2006) was active/lived in Peru.  Jorge Eielson is known for Painting and sculpture.

Jorge Eielson often described himself as belonging to four cultures: Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Nazca.  Born in Lima to a Peruvian mother and Scandinavian father, Eielson exhibited multidisciplinary artistic tendencies early on; he played the piano, wrote poetry and drew feverishly.  At the end of his secondary school studies, Eielson met anthropologist and writer, José María Arguedas.  Recognizing his young student’s talent, Arguedas introduced him to the artistic and literary circles in Peru and exposed him to ancient Peruvian history, a subject that was largely unknown to Eielson as a result of his colonial education. 

In 1941, Eielson began studying at the National University of San Marcos, winning awards for poetry and drama in 1945 and 1946.  During these years, he conceived his first canvases and exhibited at the Lima Gallery in 1948.  In the early 1950s, Eielson traveled to Europe for the first time, stopping in Paris and Switzerland bef   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 2484 characters.]  Artist bio
