Egill Jacobsen (Dec. 16, 1910 - 1998) was a Danish painter known for his repetitive use of masks in his art. He was a neo-primitivist and a wild expressionist/colorist. Over time he was associated with CoBrA, the Corner group and the Fall Exhibition in Copenhagen (Høstudstillingen). Later he shifted to Grønningen and became part of the mainstream of Danish art, ending up a Professor at the Academy where he had studied in the early 1930s.
