Essays: Melancholy - Northern Romantic painting by Jens Erik Sørensen; Images of the Mind by Allis Helleland; The Great Northern Doubt by Anders Kold; The Nordic by Per Kirkeby. This exhibition set out to compare traditional painting and contemporary painting hung side by side. It was done in an incredible sensitive way, amazing how one can actually see close similarities in sensitivity in such different work. Among the artists represented and illustrated in this beautiful and impressive catalogue are Edvard Munch, Van Gogh, Ring, Willumsen, Jerichau, Gotschalk, Henrik Ibsen and August Strindberg.
