| biography:
| Painter, born in Löten, E Norway. He studied in Oslo, travelled in Europe, and finally settled in Norway in 1908. In Paris he came under the influence of Gauguin. He was obsessed by subjects such as death and love, which he illustrated in an Expressionist Symbolic style, using bright colours and a tortuously curved design, as in ‘The Scream’ (1893). His engravings influenced die Brücke in Germany. |
