Ole Bull, the great virtuoso violinist, known as the "Paganini of the North," had just established the first Norwegian theater in Bergen, and, seeing what a promising young man [Henrik Ibsen] was, engaged him as a "scene instructor," with the condition that he write one play every year. The engagement lasted six years - crucial years in Ibsen's life, during which he learned about the theater from the ground up and was given opportunities to travel to Denmark and Germany to study stagecraft.
Ibsen's last residence is now a museum, offering special tours of the inner sanctum of his and [Suzannah]'s home. Visiting, I was struck by its rich, plush, Victorian-style furniture. Their home, according to the guide, had also been a wonder in terms of modern conveniences, ahead of the Royal Palace...

How do you work? Well, I am a stonemason, so it's very physical. It's dirty and hard. A bit like war and peace actually! With my work in stone, it's all about taking away material, about reducing and freeing something that's inside the stone. So I used to always have pre-conceived concepts about what I wanted to do, I am beginning to change this, though. With my painting and when I work in clay, I let it just grow. Because that's not there yet, the way something in stone is. It's more about looking for something that doesn't exist.
If you weren't an artist then what would you be? There was never another option, really. Most kids draw when they're little, I just never stopped. I started at age 2. Then my parents weren't very supportive and they kept saying "You can't do this." And so it ...

[Anders Zorn] was very clever with light," [Vebjorn Sand] explained. "It's not just about painting and colors, but also how you handle the models. Zorn has been a role model for me. As an artist he is a phenomenon. He worked during a period when art history was written in terms of evolution," Sand said. "He was active during the height of impressionism, but unapologetically referred back at Diego Velazquez. Zorn, John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla were among the few who did so, and from a technical point of view, those three were the best in the world. It's only been during the last few years that we are discovering again how great they were, their enormous quality.
Sand is not the only artist from Norway to be inspired by the Renaissance and Baroque approaches to painting. "It's...
