This book takes the reader on a journey to 35 well-known artists' homes in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Faeroes. The writers present artists from their own countries: autors, composers, and painters, all of whom are major figures in the Nordic cultural heritage.
With an informative taxt and extensive illustrations, the book presents the artists in their home environment, recreating the spirit of their time, and bringing out interesting relationships between the lives of the artists and their work. In his introduction to this book, "The Nordic Family", Finn Jor shows how important these artists were in strengthening Nordic co-operation and identity.
