Odd Nerdrum
Odd Nerdrum is a Norwegian painter known for his classical figurative style, which stands in stark contrast to contemporary art trends. With a career spanning several decades, he has gained both acclaim and criticism for his commitment to traditional techniques and themes reminiscent of masters like Rembrandt and Caravaggio. Despite his stature in the art world, Nerdrum rejects the label of 'artist,' reserving it for those he considers part of the modernist movement. Now in his 80s, he lives a reclusive life on a coastal farm in Norway with his family and art students, embodying a unique blend of eccentricity and artistic devotion.
