An exhibition of Petersen's sketches made on various Hawaiian Islands occurred at the Architects Building in Los Angeles in late 1929. (See William Lee Woollett, "Einar Petersen’s Sketches An Appreciation by William Lee Woollett," Architect and Engineer, vol. C, no. 1, 01/1930, p. 85-87.)

Petersen won a scholarship that enabled him to study at various art institutions in Paris, Rome and Germany, perhaps at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, a popular training spot for Scandinavian painters.

Relocation

Einar Petersen was a native Dane, born in Copenhagen in late 1885.

The artist immigrated to the US in 1912, moving, like many recent immigrants from east to west. He earned a living by painting various types of works, including architectural murals. His mural work was done in the states of NB, OR, and WA, before Petersen settled finally in Los Angeles, CA, in 1916.

Petersen lived to the age of 101.
