Biography

[edit]

Tor Bomann-Larsen was born in Jevnaker, Oppland on 26 April 1951, a son of engineer Erik Bomann-Larsen and Solveig Gjerde. He married illustrator Hilde Diesen [no] in 1975.[1]

Educated at Einar Granum’s art school in Oslo, and at Fachhochschule Münster in Germany,[2] he started his career as a satirical illustrator for various newspapers, including Budstikka, Friheten, Ny tid, Dagbladet, Nationen and Arbederbladet. He has written biographies of explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Roald Amundsen and writer Sigurd Christiansen.[2][1]

He was awarded the Cappelen Prize for 1993,[3] and the Brage Prize for non-fiction in 2004.[4] The Brage Prize was awarded for Bomann-Larsens second volume of his biography of King Haakon VII and Queen Maud of Norway. After seven volumes, the latest published in 2016, the time period covers more than 70 years, from the birth of Princess Maud of Wales in 1869 until the relationship between the US president Franklin D. Roosevelt and Crown Princess Märtha during World War II.
