Odd Nerdum

Odd Nerdum, a painter from Norway, really lives up to his name. In a time where art is centered around abstract and cubist modernism, Nerdum still chooses to paint a few centuries off, in the Old Masters technique. Of course, being as they all think modernism is the only way to go, art critics have given Nerdum much grief over the years. The author tries to be unbiased but I believe that Paul. A Canton is most likely routing for Nerdum or his article would have been a bit more negative. I think that this article is trying to show that although art is supposed to be a type of freedom of speech and thoughts, there is still a "right" way to do it, and that it is important to fight this thought and do what we want to do.
