"You are about to die. There are two paintings on the wall, A Rembrandt and a Mondrian. which is the one you wish to see last? Live, love, and make art like that moment; as if you were about to die."~ Odd Nerdrum

American Artist Magazine's October edition features an article about Odd Nerdrum. The article discusses Nerdrum's work as philosophical allegories. Always intriguing work with spiritual undertones. Reminiscent of Rembrandt.

Nerdrum uses only four colors but he premixes the palette and tubes the colors he uses in his paintings. Curiously, he mixes blue from mars black and titanium white. Check out this magazine - October American Artist.
