One of Norway’s greatest and most original landscape artists, Harald Sohlberg, finally gets a show in the UK. 
Born in 1869, he was a close contemporary of Edvard Munch (The Scream) and, like Munch, outside the mainstream of contemporary art.
The label of symbolist has fallen on Sohlberg’s shoulders however much he might not have wanted it. His wild landscapes evoke the primordial: the harsh winters, remote cottages, and eerie water spirits of Nordic myth and the exhibition includes a rarely seen work that is nevertheless regarded as the national painting of Norway: Winter Night in the Mountains.
Until June 2nd at Dulwich Picture Gallery, London, UK
