Håkon Bleken (Trondheim, 1929 – Trondheim, 2025) was a Norwegian painter and graphic artist. His work is held by museums in his country, including the National Museum in Oslo and the Trondheim Art Museum, and he is considered one of the most prominent Norwegian artists of his generation.
He trained at the art school in Trondheim and, from 1949 to 1952, at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts in Oslo, under Jean Heiberg. His breakthrough came with Fragments of a Dictatorship (1971), a series of charcoal sketches. He painted portraits of figures such as Olav V, Arne Nordheim and Wenche Foss, and illustrated literary works by Ibsen, Garborg, Hamsun and Karen Blixen. He also contributed decorations to religious and public buildings, including St. Olav Cathedral in Trondheim and Oslo Central Station.
He was made Commander of the Order of St. Olav in 2009. In 2010 nine of his paintings were stolen from his storage room, but the police recovered them shortly afterwards.
