A group of painters on a remote farm in Norway decide to form a fellowship based on strict dogma and fierce competition in the spirit of the Renaissance masters.
We follow Öde Nerdrum, Nic Thurman, Sebastian Salvo, William Heimdal & Javier Adams as they go about their daily life, aiming for the ultimate goal: the immortal masterwork.

Great movie indeed. The commitment of the group of painters is extraordinary and rare these days, and a live example of what can be achieved in Arts in general. Lovely participation of everyone in the film. It was also quite interestig to watch Odd Nerdrum speaking deeply of his points of view to the new generation of followers.
Great documentary! It was so uplifting to get a glimpse of great works and the philosophy & process of the storytellers behind them. Lots of great insights and useful ideas, highly recommended, it’s fuel for those who seek to craft eternal masterpieces in the esthetic vacuum of our age. Thanks for producing content like this!

Kitsch Meets Art: Nerdrum & Melgaard Exhibition in Oslo
Two worlds collide when the exhibition Nerdrum & Melgaard opens 6 pm Thursday 7th November at Fineart Oslo. The show will include limited edition prints by two of Norway’s most influential and controversial figures in the kitsch and art world respectively. Odd Nerdrum and Bjarne Melgaard represent diametrically different but powerful visions: the former with his classical figuration, focusing on timeless imagery and vulnerability, and the latter with his contemporary, expressive style, tapping into sexuality, identity and the grimness of life. On display will be recent as well as venerable prints that have stood the test of time, original drawings, sculptures and a unique collaborative self-portrait. This double portrait reveals the opposing forms of expression — giving the public an opportunity to closely compare the two. Odd Nerdrum and Bjarne Melgaard agreed last year to do a collaboration. Here together with the gallery owner Rolf Stavnem. Photo: Naina Helén Jåma / VG The Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) will be present and cover the opening, which will include opening remarks from the real-estate investor Christian Ringnes and the editor-in-chief of Subjekt, Danby Choi.
Rembrandt’s Melancholy and Classical Values
Do you want to know how the mind of the greatest classical painter of our time works?Do you wonder what “classical values” actually are?And why melancholy is actually that important to us? Odd Nerdrum and his former student Jan-Ove Tuv sit down for a conversation in the building which is the Nerdrum Museum in the making: The old Pipe House at Agnes Square outside of Stavern.With a philosophical approach to painting, the discussion will move beyond the strokes and attempt to explain the meaning of painting. Join a one hour conversation about: • The importance of Rembrandt’s melancholy• Why storytelling is so important to us• Why “modern” values are destructive for classical painters and the audience. The event will take place September 14th at 17:00 – 18:00. Tickets are now available.
