  2. Kjell Aukrust, urodzony 19 marca 1920, był norweskim pisarzem, poetą i malarzem, który zasłynął dzięki serii Flåklypa. Jego prace, przesycone humorem i melancholią, wciąż inspirują kolejne pokolenia. Aukrust połączył w swoich dziełach miłość do krajobrazów Norwegii z ciepłym, dowcipnym spojrzeniem na świat. #KjellAukrust #NorwegianArt (fot. Wikipedia)

  3. Lars Hertervig to jeden z najsłynniejszych norweskich malarzy pejzażowych. Urodzony 16 lutego 1830 roku, artysta zasłynął z wybitnych przedstawień norweskiej przyrody. Choć borykał się z problemami ze zdrowiem, jego prace są dzisiaj doceniane na całym świecie. #LarsHertervig #NorwegianArt #NatureInArt (fot. Wikipedia)

  4. "Death and Life," Edvard Munch, 1894.

    Norwegian Munch (1863-1944) is almost insanely famous for one painting, "The Scream," (which has become one of the art world's most parodied and marketed images) but there's so much more to him and his work.

    His early life was often touched by illness and death, and he himself feared inheriting a mental illness that ran in his family. He took to painting to deal with his dreads.

    He traveled around Europe, meeting people like Van Gogh, Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec, and even playwright August Strindberg. When WWII came, his work was banned by the Nazi party, and some of it seized, but most survived (a handful are still missing), securing his legacy.

    He experienced mental health troubles, exacerbated by drinking, but with therapy and treatment he powered through and became more optimistic and bright in his outlook. He died during the Nazi occupation of Norway, and the party orchestrated his funeral and tried to hint that he had become one of them at the end, but nobody bought it.

    This vision of a woman and a skeleton embracing reflects one of his common themes, the mingling of love and death, Eros and Thanatos. And it's seasonal.

  9. "Evening Landscape at Stokkavatnet," Kitty Kielland, 1890.

    Kielland, a Norwegian, drew some flack for this painting, as her friends felt it was too somber. Now it's regarded as a masterpiece of water landscape, and the artist's best work. This is an actual lake in Norway, near Oslo.

    From the Royal Collections, Oslo.
