Odd Nerdrum







Odd Nerdrum


Odd Nerdrum is a Norwegian painter who seems to have quite an affinity for doing self-portraits. I am not particularly fond of them, but have included one here so you can see what he looks like. I am, however, a big fan of the rest of his work. I found out about him through the movie "The Cell" with Jennifer Lopez. In the scene where Vince Vaugn first enters Carl's (Vincent D'Onofrio) mind, he lands in a puddle. Sitting near him are three women looking at the sky. This scene is based on the painting 'Dawn', which is the second painting below. I have two links for him:
