Biography of Odd Nerdrum - Painter
Biography
F
Figurative painter Odd Nerdrum (born april 8 1944) from Norway has been a controversial artist for many years, claiming among other things that his art should be understood as kitsch rather than art as such. He represents the greco-roman tradition in painting, and his work shows strong influences from Rembrandt and Edvard Munch. ==External links== *http://www.nerdrum.com/ Odd Nerdrum official website *http://www.kitschforum.no/mesterverk.php A web page showing paintings by Nerdrum - "selvportrett" = self portraits (lower part of page show paintings by other painters) *http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article.j html?articleID=690154 "Odd Nerdrum near Icelandic citizenship" - article in Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, December 12, 2003 artist-stub
