Norwegian Painter Nikolai Astrup Holds First Retrospective in Japan
Published
It has been announced that a retrospective of Norwegian painter Nikolai Astrup will be held in Japan for the first time. An exhibition presenting Astrup's works together in Japan has long been eagerly awaited.
The centerpiece of the exhibition will be his oil paintings. They depict natural landscapes, fruit trees and plants in gardens, and are very rich in color. Interior scenes decorated with crafts are also one of the highlights.
In addition, printmaking works will be on display. Astrup's prints are known for being influenced by Japanese ukiyo-e, and are characterized by their original expression. Seeing both his oil paintings and prints will allow visitors to learn about the broad scope of the painter's work.
For Japanese art lovers, this exhibition is considered to be a valuable opportunity to encounter modern Nordic painting. Astrup's works may also serve as a clue for considering how he portrayed nature and familiar landscapes.
