Met a monster today 👀✨

Northern Norwegian Art Museum’s exhibition "The Monster as Stand-In" is pure Arctic magic — dark tales, wild coasts, and Kittelsen’s haunting “Draugen” staring back at you 🌊🌫️

Chills and insight in equal measure. Go see it! 🙌

Das Meer, in der Ferne ist vage eine Küstenlinie zu sehen. Im Vordergrund, in der Bildmitte, erhebt sich eine monströse Gestalt mit einem riesigen, aufgerissenen Mund und spitzen Zähnen. Wasser trieft herab, Algen hängen an seinem Leib. Zwei kleine Krebse fallen ins Wasser

Ich bin verliebt. Verliebt in das Wassermonster, das Theodor Kittelsen gemalt hat.

The sea, In the background we see a vague shape like a coastline, far away- In the middle a sea monster emerges, he is dripping wet, full of algae, some crabs are falling off. His face has a ridiculously large, gaping mouth with sharp teeth.

I believe just fell in love with Kittelsen! He painted the most adorable little monster ever.

This also looks strikingly like the face my first mother in law used to make when she was at my house. (She was a bit of a plague herself.) #art #plague #folklore #kittelsen

As a contrast to Artist Kittelsen having a princess picking lice of enormous troll here we have Black Death with very bleak landscape & dying man trying to escape on exhausted horse. Something lighter tomorrow for you maybe back to Paris 😊😊

Когось цей лісовий тролляка мені нагадує.
