Their works were commissioned by the National Museum and enter into a dialog with Werenskiold's drawings and the novel's content, while also emerging from the artists' own lives and our time.In this conversation, you will have the opportunity to gain a deeper insight into the artists' processes and thoughts about their choice of motifs and the themes of the exhibition.
