Nikolai Astrup Biography

(b Aug. 30, 1880; d Jan. 21, 1928) Norwegian born artist, Nikolai Astrup studied first in Norway with Harriet Backer, then from 1901-02 in Paris at the Académie Colarossi and the Académie Julian. There he came into contact with Gauguin, and younger artists Henri Rousseau and Maurice Denis. Astrup was primarily a landscape painter, though he also worked in wood-cuts. Most of his paintings depict nature, especially that of his native Western Norway. His style is considered neo-romantic and his paintings were well received thanks to his use of clear, strong colors and his focus on local subject matter. He died of pneumonia in 1928, after suffering from tuberculosis and asthma most of his life.
