This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| Most early Minnesota artists of Norwegian background made their living as designers
or decorators. Sverre Hanssen (1891–1968), a 1924 immigrant to St. Paul from the
northern islands of Lofoten, was among the last of these. Trained in Norway, he was
immediately employed by established decorating firms in St. Paul and got major
commissions on his own. His work on the state capitol ranged from interior painting
and stenciling to applying gold leaf to the horses over the entry and to the
dome.
