Biography
Haage began his art studies at Grünewald’s School of Painting 1945-1946, and he continued his studies at Académie Julien in Paris 1947-1949. Haage is most well-known as a printmaker. He was well-versed in the techniques of drypoint, etching and mezzotint which he used in his famous print series including Europasviten (The European Suite) comprised of 12 drypoints from 1975-77 and Fabrik (Factories) with 5 drypoint prints from 1978-1979. His motifs from that period were mainly European architecture and older factory buildings in the Swedish city of Norrköping and the Ruhr district in Germany. He traveled and exhibited widely throughout Europe, and he discovered many of his motifs during his travels. He had solo exhibitions in Stockholm and throughout Sweden as well as in numerous other places in Europe including Paris, Helsinki and Åbo in Finland, Reykjavik, Iceland, Fredrikstad, Norway, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Szczecin in Poland, Dortmund, Wuppertal, Heidelberg in Germany and Liège and Charleroi in Belgium.

He also made some thirty lithographs in a portfolio with texts and images illustrating the Walloon immigration to Sweden during the 16th and 17th centuries, and how Walloon life continued in Sweden. The portfolio was published by Konstfrämjandet in 1986. The lithographs were the inspiration for the film Vallonerna i järnets tid (The Walloons and the Iron Industry) by Curt Strömblad that was produced by the Swedish Television SVT and Arbetets Museum in 1986-1987.

His Uppsala images, 40 drypoint prints, are included in the book, Universitetsstaden Uppsala (University City Uppsala), published together with Uno Erikson in 2004. His series of images from Rome, 48 drypoint prints, can be found in the book Kyrkor i Rom (Churches in Rome) published together with Erland Lagerlöf and Sophie Petzell in 2008.

His book Faluddsboar (Inhabitants of Faludden) includes personal narratives and 23 painted portraits depicting people who were year-round inhabitants of Faludden, the most southeasterly cape on the island of Gotland. Haage lived and worked there regularly from 1961 on.

In 1983 Haage was awarded The Prince Eugen Medal. In Sweden his work is represented in Moderna museet [2] in Stockholm, Kalmar Konstmuseum [3], Örebro läns museum [4] and Norrköpings konstmuseum. His work is also represented abroad including Ateneum, Helsinki, Bibliothèque National, Paris, Vicoria & Albert Museum, London, Albertina Museum, Wien, Metropolitan Museum, USA, Bibliothèque National, Bryssel. etc.
