Naturally gifted, he studied with his father, and began to exhibit in large international shows at the age of fifteen. He and his father were artist members of Grand Central Art Galleries*, and in 1968, a joint exhibition honoring their work was presented. "The Emil and Dines Carlsen Award," of the National Academy of Design* is named after the father-son tandem of painters. Although known primarily for still life paintings, he was highly regarded for his landscapes, which he painted on vacations throughout the United States and Mexico. He lived for many years in Falls Village, Connecticut, and had a home in Summerville, South Carolina. He was elected to membership in the National Academy of Design, New York City as an Associate in 1922, and an Academician in 1941. Carlsen's paintings are in many private and public collections, including the Carnegie Museum of Art; Corcoran Art Gallery; the John Herron Art Institute, Indianapolis; and the Sweat Memorial Art Museum (now the Portland Art Museum, Maine). The artist died in New York in 1966.
