Biography
Niels Hartmann was born on 9 April 1932 in the Hellerup district of Gentofte Municipality, Denmark. He was the third child of Svend Hartzack Hartmann and Elna Tilling, and was considered to be part of the seventh generation of the Danish-Norwegian Hartmann family.[1] He was educated in art at the School of Arts and Crafts[note 1] in Copenhagen from 1946–1950. In 1950 he established the studio Hartmann Design with his older brother Jørgen Hartzack. Niels moved his work to Helsingborg in Skåne, Sweden in 1958, to the Danish island Als in 1959, and to Malmö in Skåne again from 1960–1963.[2] From 1963–1964 he worked with advertiser Thomas Bergsøe, then with Morten Peetz-Schou from 1965–1966; he also became a freelancer at the Danish Agricultural Marketing Board's advertising department.[5][2]
Starting in the late 1960s Hartmann was involved in Dot Zero Designgroup, a studio co-owned by the LEGO Group.[2] In 1967 he became a member of Alliance Graphique Internationale.[6] That same year he opened his own studio in Copenhagen, Niels Hartmann Industriel-grafik A/S, which he operated until his death in 1978.[2][7]
(there's not a lot to say here but a lot of 70s art books credit him with a lot of Lego boxes, so include those and how he's sometimes co-credited for the Lego logo) [8]
