Per Krohg (1889-1965) Nana (1910)
Time Magazine excerpt from Apr. 26, 1954 about Per Krogh:
"Per Krohg, one of the grand old (65) men of modern Norwegian painting, speaks his artistic mind with the clear and refreshing eloquence of a song by Grieg. The 42 Krohg oils on view at the Galerie St. Etienne are bright with sweeping colors and full of robust naturalism and the hardiness of his homeland: fishermen beside their boats, woodsmen among hoar-frosted trees, farmers watching a dogfight. A gaily tinted landscape, Frogner, is as clean and invigorating as a drink of chilled aquavit on a summer's day; in The Dinner, Krohg fills a formal dining room with stuffed and complacent charac ters right out of an Ibsen play. Krohg's artistic voice is clear, healthy and unmis- takably Norwegian."
