A compelling introduction to the life and artistic output of a trailblazing Norwegian painter, printmaker, and horticulturist Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928) was a Norwegian Expressionist artist known for colorful paintings and woodcuts of his native landscape. Astrup received a formal art education in Kristiania (now Oslo), Germany, and Paris, but he later rebelled against certain aspects of his training, such as traditional color theory and conventions of optical perspective. He rejected metropolitan cultural centers in favor of his rural childhood home in western Norway, where he produced a remarkable body of work. This volume brings Astrups life and work to a North American audience, situating him within the history of Norway and late 19th- and early 20th-century art. Astrups horticultural innovations on the farmstead where he lived are also explored. The books beautiful illustrations highlight the intensity of Astrups palette, the innovative nature of his prints, and the magical realism of his landscapes steeped in ancient folklore and local customs.About the AuthorMaryAnne Stevens is a scholar and independent curator.
