  Erik Nielsen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Honourable Erik Hersholt Nielsen, PC, DFC, QC, LL.B (born February 24, 1924) is a former Canadian politician, and longtime Progressive Conservative Member of Parliament for Yukon.
Nielsen served as Acting Leader of the Opposition in 1983 between the resignation of Joe Clark and the election of Brian Mulroney as PC leader, and continued to lead the party in the House until Mulroney won a seat in a by-election, at which point Nielsen returned to his previous position as House Leader.
The tenaciousness and aggressiveness that made Nielsen a successful Opposition MP made him a liability as a Cabinet minister as he gave the impression of being secretive and disdainful of criticism by the Opposition and the media.

 David Budbill/A Fleeting Animal continued
Since Erik Nielsen happens to be a modernist/post-modernist composer, he brings a certain trans-Atlantic pressure to bear on the peculiarly American vernacular of Budbill's characterizations.
Nielsen's score was thoroughly modern but eclectic at the same time, not afraid of tonality and not averse to atonality either; so that the whole question of tonality-the great bugaboo of "modern" music-became nearly irrelevant.
Nielsen has made an opera that's going to be sought after by opera departments in college and universities everywhere, as well as professional companies.

 Art in America: Kehnet Nielsen and Erik Steffensen at DCA - New York - Brief Article
Nielsen was represented by three large paintings (each about 10 feet square) in the main gallery space and nine smaller paintings in a side gallery.
No doubt a common motif in Danish art and literature, ice is a favored subject of Erik Steffensen, who showed a series of photographs of icebergs printed blood red, as well as a series of photographs of the American landscape.
Nielsen is a romantic idealist who finds authenticity in mystery and emotion; Steffensen, whose work's poisoned sublimity Baudelaire would have admired, appears to be a romantic ironist with a more jaundiced eye.
