The Clark – Opening Lecture for Nikolai Astrup, Visions of Norway

Modernist artist, innovative printmaker, talented horticulturalist, ambitious garden designer, and committed conservationist, Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928) devoted his career to the celebration of a relatively remote region of Western Norway. Enthralled by the majesty of its mountainous landscape, its lush vegetation, its folk and mythic traditions, and its distinct atmosphere, seasons, and light, Astrup drew upon childhood memory, acute observation of nature, and European modernisms to forge his own visual language that spoke to a sense of Norwegian identity.
