Arthur David ("Art" or "Tappy") Larsen (born on April 17, 1925 in Hayward, California, United States) was an American male tennis player best remembered for his victory at the U.S. Championships in 1950 and for his eccentricities. Larsen was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 1969.

Jack Kramer, tennis player and long-time promoter, writes in his 1979 autobiography that "Larsen was fascinating to watch. He had concentrated on tennis as mental therapy after serving long stretches in the front lines during (World War II). He was called Tappy because he went around touching everything for good luck, and sometimes he would chat with an imaginary bird that sat on his shoulder. This was good theatre, but it could never have made Larsen a candidate for a professional tour."

A member of the Olympic Club in San Francisco, he had previously attended the University of San Francisco, where he was a member of the 1949 NCAA Men's Tennis Championship team. He was 5 feet 10 inches and 150 pounds and was also known for his partying before, and during, his tournament appearances. It was frequently written that Larsen would arrive for an important match directly from an all-night party with no benefit of sleep.

Johannes Larsen (1867–1961) was a Danish nature painter.

Born in Kerteminde on Funen, Larsen studied art at the Free School in Copenhagen under Kristian Zahrtmann in the 1880s. There he met other painters from Funen, notably Fritz Syberg and Peter Hansen, both from the southern port of Faaborg, and the Funish Painters' group was born. They went on to create an art colony that influenced many Danish and Swedish artists and brought them success. Johannes Larsen's home, Møllebakken in Kerteminde, became the gathering place in summer months for many painters, particularly younger artists from Zahrtmann's school.

Their ideal was to paint outdoors, not just sketching but painting in all kinds of weather. Their paintings have a freshness and energy not previously seen, except in sketches. Once they became successful, they were attacked by symbolist artists for being "farmer painters" in a newspaper debate in 1907. This only brought the Funish group more sympathy, especially from a group of authors working from the provinces in Jutland. Their chief spokesman was Johannes V. Jensen, who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1930.

Louis Edmund Larsen (January 10, 1874 – May 26, 1950) was a Danish gymnast who competed in the 1906 Summer Olympics.

In 1906 he won the silver medal as member of the Danish gymnastics team in the team competition.

Bryan Larsen (born 1975) is a romantic realist painter based in Utah. His work can be found in private art collections around the world.^{[citation needed]} He is exclusively represented by Quent Cordair Fine Art [1] in Napa, California. In addition to his uplifting paintings that celebrate Man's mind and abiulity, Larsen has undertaken commissions for companies such as BB&T.

Bryan Larsen was born on February 12, 1975. He studied illustration at Utah State University in Logan, Utah.

Larsen believes that technique and subject matter are indispensable components of any work of art. He studies painting skills and draws from life models. His philosophy of art is "based on reason, and life on earth."

According to Larsen, "[his] goal is to portray the heroic and romantic in human nature and human achievement in a realistic style and a modern setting. [He] place[s] particular emphasis on composition, technique, realistic detail, proper craftsmanship and consistency of style."

Larsen was a finalist in the figurative category of the Art Renewal Center’s Salon competition and achieved an Award of Merit in the Springville Museum of Art's Annual Spring Salon. Larsen's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in galleries around the West coast.

Kim Melius Flyvholm Larsen (born October 23, 1945 in Copenhagen) is a Danish rock musician.

Inspired by The Beatles and rock and roll, Larsen began as a songwriter and guitarist. In 1969 he met Franz Beckerlee and Wili Jønsson, and the three founded Gasolin' which, later joined by drummer Søren Berlev, became one of the most successful Danish rock bands. The band dissolved in the late 1970s and has always refused to reform although they remain very popular decades after their seventies heyday, which has contributed to their myth and magic. In 2006, the documentary movie Gasolin' directed by Anders Østergaard, gave the history of the band and became a big hit in Denmark.

In the 1970s, following trends found in North America and the United Kingdom, Danish popular music styles began to diverge and audiences fragment. Many rock musicians in Denmark began to compose music and texts that reflected more realistic Danish social settings and ideals. Danish musicologist Charlotte Rørdam Larsen states that in the 1970s, Danish groups such as Kim Larsen's Gasolin' gave Danish music a special Danish rhythm and significance, linguistically, if not wholly distinct musically from international styles.
