Odd Nerdrum
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
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.
