The Amazing Fantasy Art of Theodor Kittelsen
Ойын-сауық
The Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen is my favorite painter. During his career as an illustrator he defined the look of trolls, Norwegian folklore, and The Black Death in Norway.
This short documentary includes some of his best paintings and illustrations, and explains what makes his fantasy art so great.

Thanks for this introduction, I'll definitely be looking up Kittelsen now. It reminds of art from my childhood as well.

There's so many good Theodor Kittelsen paintings that it was hard to pick which ones to include in the video :P This is my first video essay, so I'm glad people like it. Hope you'll stick around, I have many more planned!
Wow! His work is gorgeous! Great video!
I was just listening to BURZUM. I saw a painting on it. Later, I heard a podcast about swedish literature. I feel like the art of scandinavia is just great. I"ll learn more about it. It is always interesting.

There are actually several metal bands that use Kittelsen's art for their album covers, because it fits so well, and they're in the public domain.
excellent. and i like the personal touch of his influence..thanks.
Wonderful! Thank you for this introduction to a wonderful artist I'd never heard of. While I don't have your Norwegian heritage to draw on, the art reminds me of the Russian Folk Tales that I read, over and over again, during my childhood. Good luck too with your own work.
♡♡♡ THANK YOU This is amazing, and beautifully presented/commented ♡
I recently discovered Theodore Kittelsen and I would say he is one of my favorite painters of all time now
Just stumbled upon his artwork, and I must say I was instantly captivated by his work. His and John Bauers and this great video of yours just made me appreciate them even more :)

Thanks for introducing me to John Bauers! Some of his paintings seem familiar to me, so I'm sure I've been somewhat exposed to him, but I'm not really all that familiar with his work. Glad you liked the video :D

Jeg har sett så mange av disse bildene, men visste ikke at de var malt av den samme personen. Dette var en veldig bra lagd video, og det hadde vært gøy å se flere lignende videoer om f. eks. Henrik Ibsen.
Great video, I love his work, no one comes close to it in my opinion
Blaafarveverkets hovedutstilling dette året er Theodor Kittelsen :) Åpner i Mai hvis det ikke blir mer coronarestriksjoner. Han bodde jo noen år i Sigdal, og hjemmet hans er åpent for turister, hvis det ikke er stengt nå i disse coronatider da, det er jo bare ca 3 mil fra Blaafarveverket.
A great video to introduce such a wondrous painter. Btw are you from western Norway?
