The peasantry played a crucial role in modern Norwegian art from the latter nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth. As Norwegians struggled for independence, the rural peasantry became identified as the repository of timeless and unique values, unspoiled by foreign influence, the essence of the emerging Norwegian nation. This study discusses such images in Norwegian painting, analyzing their social context, implications and changing emphasis within a forty year span from 1880–1920. It focuses specifically on the group of artists who formed the Lysaker Circle (Erik Werenskiold, Christian Skredsvig, Gerhard Munthe and Harriet Backer) and their artistic legacy (Henrik Sørensen, and Harald Kihle).

520 $a The peasantry played a crucial role in modern Norwegian art from the latter nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth. As Norwegians struggled for independence, the rural peasantry became identified as the repository of timeless and unique values, unspoiled by foreign influence, the essence of the emerging Norwegian nation. This study discusses such images in Norwegian painting, analyzing their social context, implications and changing emphasis within a forty year span from 1880–1920. It focuses specifically on the group of artists who formed the Lysaker Circle (Erik Werenskiold, Christian Skredsvig, Gerhard Munthe and Harriet Backer) and their artistic legacy (Henrik Sørensen, and Harald Kihle).
520 $a Peasant imagery is a recurring theme in Norwegian art, and Nordic art in general. It is a complex issue, and demonstrates more than just a sentimental or romantic attachment to rural culture or the delay in industrialization. It documents the historical shift in political, economic, and social forces which the literature and philosophy of the period also described. Images of the peasantry gradually shifted from an ethnographic interest, tied to nationalist-romantic impulses, during a period of definition of the nation, to a rejection of the city and a nostalgic look backwards in the transition to modernism. Since images of the peasantry were related to developing nationalism in Finland, Sweden and Denmark too, my work will provide a better understanding of modern Scandinavian painting in general. It also offers new insights into the anti-modern, “primitivizing” impulse, an idea exemplified by many Expressionists as the Scandinavian pupils of Matisse came to be called.
520 $a Recently, the arts of Scandinavia have received increasing attention through major international exhibitions, as well as publications. Yet none of these studies has focused specifically on the unique ideological implications of peasant imagery within Norwegian painting. My research aims to rectify this, and hopefully, to illuminate other important issues in the process.
