    Oil on canvas
    Bergen Kunstmuseum, Norway.

    The Astrups had clearly worked hard to develop their smallholding to support their family. Sandalstrand (1927) shows Engel and two of their children enjoying the summer sunshine, in partly-backlit conditions which surrounds their figures, trees, and fences with a magical aura.

    This too was created using mixed media, starting with a linocut and woodcut on board, over which Astrup painted in oils. It also underwent his characteristic evolution, starting as Growing Season Weather (c 1923), which was reversed and recomposed to a print of Growing Season at Sandalstrand (1925), and finally reworked as here, and dedicated to Trygve Bydal and his wife.

Nikolai AstrupNorwegian modernist painter Nikolai Astrup was born in Kalvåg. In 1899, Astrup left for Kristiania (now Oslo) where he matriculated as student at the Royal Academy of Design. Astrup quickly left to join Harriet Backer’s painting school where he studied until 1901. Astrup lived in Paris where he studied at the Académie Julian. He was a student of Christian Krohg at Académie Colarossi from 1901-02. Astrup later traveled to Berlin, Dresden, Munich, and Hamburg. By 1902, he had returned to and settled in Jøster. In 1911, Astrup studied under Lovis Corinth in Berlin at Arthur Lewin-Funcke’s school of Painting.

Astrup preferred clear, strong colors and usually made landscape art depicting his surroundings in Jølster. His paintings describe an intimate interaction between nature and the developed environment, characterized by bold lines and distinctive rich color. Astrup is regarded as a neo-romantic painter, but he also worked with woodcuts.
