Consistently constructivist art made little general impact on Denmark, but it had one representative in Franciska Clausen. Clausen spent the inter-war years in Germany and France, where she was originally the pupil and close collaborator of Fernand Léger. Later she co-founded the group called Cercle et Carré, which exhorted the international avant-garde of Constructivism to oppose the progress of Surrealism.
