history

In order to provide a forum for artists from Scandinavia after the First World War , the Danish sculptor Lena Börjeson founded the Académie Scandinave in Paris together with the Swedish painter Gunnar Cederschiöld and several other artists in 1919 . Cederschiöld represented the art academy as president and Börjeson acted as managing director. Although various courses were offered, the majors were painting and sculpture.

The academy established itself in the Maison Watteau in the Rue Jules-Chaplain ( 6th arrondissement ). The idea of ​​giving Nordic artists the opportunity to study was in the foreground, but artists from other countries were not turned down. In 1933 the Swedish ambassador Albert Ehrensvärd took over the patronage , who was able to win Prince Eugene of Sweden for the same task that same year .

Cederschiöld and Börjeson reacted to the changing political situation and closed their academy in 1935. In Stockholm , Börjeson then opened a kind of successor institution with the Lena Börjeson sculpture cola ; the Otte Skölds Målarskola of Otte Sköld is also in this succession.
