Dag Hol (born 26 October 1951, in Hamburg) is a Norwegian figurative painter and graphic artist.
He was educated at the Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts (1980-1984) and has been a student of Gunnar Dietrichson and Odd Nerdrum. Earlier he studied Nordic, French, German and Sanskrit language and literature at the University of Oslo. Since he was 18–19 years old he has practised yoga and Acem-meditation regularly and this has influenced his artistic and philosophical point of view. He made his debut as an artist with his solo exhibition in 1983 in Oslo.
His work is influenced by the old masters, from Renaissance art to Romanticism. [1]
He has studied Indian, Chinese and Japanese classical art and philosophy as well. He has given several speeches on the philosophy of art in Norway, USA, India, China and Taiwan, some with the title "The Art of Doing". His main philosophy is the focusing on craftmanship as a signature and essence of what art is all about. It is through the attitude and the way art is created that the spiritual energy and power in the artistic expression are decided. He is opposed to the modern view of art that the concept and the ideas in art are the most important and central; his view is that the concept and the ideas emerge from the way the art is done.
At Dag Hol's solo exhibition in the City Hall of Oslo in March 2012 and 2016 more than 3,000 people attended the opening and more than 22,000 people came to the show during the three weeks the exhibition was open (according to the security department at the City Hall), which made the exhibition one of the best visited solo exhibitions ever in Norwegian art history.

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.

He was also the first to acquire genuine fame and cultural renown abroad. As one critic has put it, "J.C. Dahl occupies a central position in Norwegian artistic life of the first half of the 19th century.
Anita Catarina Malfatti is heralded as the first Brazilian artist to introduce European and American forms of Modernism to Brazil. Her solo exhibition in Sao Paulo, from 1917–1918, was controversial at the time, and her expressionist style and subject were revolutionary for the complacently old-fashioned art expectations of Brazilians who were searching for a national identity in art, but who were not prepared for the influences Malfatti would bring to the country. Malfatti's presence was also highly felt during the Week of Modern Art in 1922, where she and the Group of Five made huge revolutionary changes in the structure and response to modern art in Brazil.

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.
