Having visited Norway twice now, I completely agree that he captures the essence of the landscapes brilliantly. <br /><br />Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.

I was introduced by the Gamle Norge. I lived in Norway for 2 years as a kid and he captured the culture and landscape so beautifully. I have also been a fan of Rouseau so find it interesting, this inspired him as well. Thank you for posting.

I fell in love with Astrup's work the first time I was introduced to one his pieces and since then, I have wanted to research more and find out all I can. I am so glad you enjoyed the piece and even more so to have introduced you to Nikolai! I just love it!!

And his painting of the Vicarage is amazingly photographic.

Such a shame parents often look down upon art as a career because it's so risky...what they don't understand is that art, in whatever form it takes, is the life force within all artists. To survive, they must create whatever the cost. The denim surprised me too but to my point, leverage all you can to practice your craft. <br /><br />Thank you again for kind compliments too!

II like the way you've interwoven your own landscape photos with the art work.<br /><br />Interesting how parents so looked down upon art as a career - though I guess some still do - and painting on denim is an interesting way to recycle. I love it.<br /><br />Beautifully presented post Jeff.<br />HikeBikeTravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09912310608396833772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-826427635728597931.post-56886599861335426172014-07-21T09:29:21.052-04:002014-07-21T09:29:21.052-04:00Hi there Agata!

Too bad he died so young, I'm sure he would have added more to his body of work and perhaps achieved international fame. Wonder if his father lived long enough to attend any of his exhibitions. Do you know if any of his children become artists themselves? That denim painting is in fantastic condition, it must be worth a fortune now. Thanks for the intro.
