Odd Nerdrum. Storyteller and Self-Revealer
Pettersson, Jan Áke: Odd NerdrumJan Áke Petterson offers a new interpretation of Odd Nerdrum's paintings from 1982 through to 1998. He places Nerdrum's works in a mythical narrative tradition, and also reveals the strong autobiographical elements innate in his art. 125 of Nerdrum's paintings are reproduced in the book, along with 50 detailed pictures that illustrate the artist's technique. The book is richly endowed with Nerdrum's own comments and bons mots and affords a vivid insight into the importance the artist attaches to his work. It is published in both Norwegian and English editions.
