This exhibition is devoted to Norwegian women artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries and their successors in contemporary times. Harriet Backer, Kitty Kielland, Asta Nørregaard, Ida Lorentzen, Hanneline Røgeberg, Marianne Heske and others are among those featured. Their works are very beautiful, from interiors to landscapes and portraits, to the most contemporary installations. An extremely interesting text offers insights into the work of each artist, even as it discusses on a broad scale the emancipation of women and the feminist perspective in art.
