Axel Bentzen studied painting from an early age and, at the age of 14, was copying Old Master paintings at Copenhagen's Statens Museum for Kunst. He traveled to Italy in 1919 and, from 1923–29, spent every second year there. He also spent time in Paris, painting and furthering his studies of Modernism. He was the recipient of numerous artist scholarships that supported his studies and travels, including the prestigious Hielmstierne-Rosencrone scholarship twice (1925, 1927) and the Copenhagen Akademie scholarship three times (1927, 1929, 1931) among others. He was the recipient of numerous prizes, medals and juried awards and exhibited internationally, with success including at the Charlottenburg from 1922 and in Paris, Berlin, Venice, Belgrade and Budapest. He is listed in both the Benezit Dictionary of Artists and Thieme-Becker.

The artist considered his teacher and inspiring Degas. Between 1904 and 1907 he joined Fauvism. In 1905 he participated in the "Autumn Hall" and in the "Hall of Independents". In 1907 he presented his 1st individual exhibition at the Vollard Gallery. He specialized in female portraits of Parisian ladies, creating a unique, sophisticated and elegant female portrait prototype that characterized him forever. He played an essential role in the evolution of women's fashion of his time. He designed numerous dresses, hats and accessories for famous designers such as Paul Poiret and Henry Marque It goes down in history as the architect of a new type of woman, thin, with an elegant air, always with style, with unusual elongated necks, with impressive slanted eyes, that seem to look at the world in amazement, perhaps because they express a feeling of freedom towards Society and its norms. With these paintings of women, he showed the world the true French, elegant, beautiful and with a gooseneck. In 1914 he won the Rome Prize. Many celebrities of the time posed for the artist, Josephine Baker, Brigitte Bardot, etc. But although he painted numerous nude actresses...
