“My work is based on a tradition quite distinct from the Eckersberg tradition, a Nordic line of development that had never been clearly and consistently defined in the literature on art. This line is not a straight one; it has the strangest and most fascinating twists and curves, and includes such artists as Edvard Munch, Ernest Josephson, Hill, Hansen Jacobsen, Johannes Holbek, Jens Lund, and Emile Nolde. Not all of them equally well known.” WellsArtArtistLiteratureLinesKnownDevelopmentTraditionDefinedHillsFascinatingConsistentlyWell KnownCurvesTwistsNordic Author:Asger Jorn
