A compelling introduction to the life and artistic output of a
trailblazing Norwegian painter, printmaker, and horticulturist
Nikolai Astrup (1880-1928) was a highly individual Norwegian
Modernist artist known for intensely colored 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 the traditional
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 Astrup's life and work to a North American audience,
situating him within the history and culture of Norway and late
19th- and early 20th-century art. Astrup's horticultural
achievements in the service of his art on the farm where he lived
are also explored. The book's beautiful illustrations highlight the
intensity of Astrup's palette, the innovative nature of his prints,
and the magical realism of his landscapes steeped in folklore and
local customs. Distributed for the Clark Art Institute in
cooperation with KODE Art Museums and Composer Homes, Bergen,
Savings Bank Foundation DNB, and Prince Eugen's Waldemarsudde
