Odd Nerdrum is a Norwegian figurative painter,born in Sweden. His work is held by museums worldwide. Themes and style in Nerdrum's work reference anecdote and narrative. Primary influences by the painters Rembrandt and Caravaggio help place his work in direct conflict with the abstraction and conceptual art considered acceptable in much of Norway. Nerdrum creates six to eight paintings a year. They include still life paintings of small,everyday objects,portraits and self-portraits,and large paintings allegorical and apocalyptic in nature. The figures in Nerdrum's paintings are often dressed as if from another time and place.

Kitsch painting is an international movement made up of classical painters,a result of a 24 September 1998 speech and philosophy given by the Norwegian figurative artist,Odd Nerdrum,later clarified in his book On Kitsch with Jan-Ove Tuv and others. The movement incorporates the techniques of the Old Masters with narrative,romanticism,and emotionally charged imagery. The movement defines Kitsch as synonymous with the arts of ancient Rome or the techne of ancient Greece. Kitsch painters embrace kitsch as a positive term not in opposition to "art",but as its own independent superstructure. Kitsch painters assert that Kitsch is not an art movement,but a philosophical movement separate from art. The Kitsch movement has been considered an indirect criticism of the contemporary art world,but according to Nerdrum,this is not the expressed intention.
