Odd Nerdrum - Wikipedia
Odd Olaf Nerdrum (born April 8, 1944 in Helsingborg, Sweden), is a
Norwegian figurative painter. Themes and style in Nerdrum's work
reference anecdote and narrative, primary influences by the painters
Rembrandt and Caravaggio.
Nerdrum began study at the Art Academy of Oslo, but became dissatisfied
with the direction of modern art, and began to teach himself how to
paint in a Neo Baroque style, with the guidance of Rembrandt's technique
and work as a primary influence. Nerdrum had seen Rembrandt's painting,
The Conspiracy of Claudius Civilis in the National Museum of Fine Arts
in Stockholm. Nerdrum says seeing the painting was "a shock...
Pervasive. Like finding home. I can say I found a home in this
picture,... The wonderful thing with Rembrandt is the confidence he
inspires - like when you warm your hands on a stove. Without Rembrandt I
would have been so poor," By abandoning the accepted path of modern
art, Nerdrum had placed himself in direct opposition to most aspects of
the school, including his primary painting instructor, his fellow
students, and a curriculum designed to present Norway as a country with
an up-to-date artistic culture. 
He, in his own words was chased from the
academy after a two-year period like a "scroungy mutt". Years later
Nerdrum said;
I saw that I was in the process of making a choice that would end in
defeat. By choosing those qualities that were so alien to my own time, I
had to give up at the same time the art on which the art of our time
rests. I had to paint in defiance of my own era without the protection
of the era's superstructure. Briefly put I would paint myself into
isolation.Διασχίζοντας τους χώρους του Μουσείου Τέχνης Yu-Hsiu για την την ατομική έκθεση του Odd Nerdrum.
