Danish painter, stage designer, illustrator and poster designer Sikker-Hansen also decorated the Danish Pavilions at the 1935 World's Fair in Brussels, the 1937 fair in Paris and the 1939 fair in New York. He worked for the Danish newspaper, Politiken, and also for the FDB (Danish Consumers Cooperative Society). "Sikker-Hansen's style was poetically dreamy with softly-toned drawings of romantic figures, whether they were children or natives from some other country . . . " (Dansk Design p. 526 ff).
