Lis Zwick was born in 1942 in Copenhagen and died in 2020. She was a Danish-Swedish artist. In 1959, she worked as an illustrator at the advertising agency Harlang & Toksvig, and subsequently studied at the Higher School of Graphic Arts in Copenhagen. From 1962 to 1963, she spent six months in the Drakabygget art collective in Örkelljunga, where she was taught by the artists Hardy Strid and Jørgen Nash. In 1964-1965, she studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Aarhus, then ran an arts and crafts shop in Horsens for two years and returned to Drakabygget in 1968 after Jørgen Nash proposed to her. They married in 1969. Zwick worked in many different techniques: printmaking, acrylic, gouache, watercolour, glass, enamel. In enamel painting, she was able to combine play and dance with free imagination and the colourful heritage she received from painters of Nordic Expressionism. Lis Zwick also devoted herself to graphic design and taught at Gerlesborgsskolan in Tanum. Her works are held in the collections of the Museum of Sketches in Lund and the Museum of Modern Art in Stockholm.
