Odd Nerdrum is one of Norway's best-known, most highly publicised and most controversial painters. Over the last few decades, his paintings have placed him well and truly in the spotlight, both in Norway and abroad. Viewed as heir to Edvard Munch and the sculptor Gustav Vigeland, he currently ranks as Norway's foremost contemporary artist. From "The Murder of Andreas Baader" (1977-78), and through to "Portrait in a Golden Smock" (1998), Nerdrum's choice of subjects has often earned him wide media coverage and generated heated discussion of his pictures, but his talent and skill as a painter have never been in dispute. In this programme, the first major documentary to be made about Odd Nerdrum, the artist himself discourses in detail on the background of his work, his love of Iceland, his role as paterfamilias, and his relation with his own era.
