1. Introducing Norway: Culture
   Kari and Øyvind sometimes wonder how a small country as Norway has been able toproduce such a variety of great artists, but Culture is the opposite of war.

   Extractions: old folk tales which previously had only been passed on by word of mouth from generation to generation. Many of these stories shared common roots with folk tale tradition in other countries and if you were to read one today, you would doubtless recognize many familiar elements. Our most famous author, Henrik Ibsen , found inspiration in folk tales when writing his play "Peer Gynt" and most people have heard "In the Hall of the Mountain King", music which was written for the play by Edvard Grieg The Norwegian painter, Edvard Munch , is today regarded as one of the greatest of modern artists. Although he is perhaps most famous for the painting "Scream", he painted many other outstanding works. Today cultural life in Norway finds expression in a variety of different fields such as the theatre, films, music, painting, arts and crafts, folk dancing and literature.

   Extractions: Norway Norwegian architecture is renowned for its unique stave churches - among the oldest wooden buildings on earth - which have one foot in the Viking Age and the other in the 11th-century early Christian era. Norway holds on to many of its cultural traditions and it's not uncommon to see elaborate folk costumes worn at weddings and other festive events. Traditional folk dancing, singing and storytelling (often featuring trolls) are also popular. The country has produced a wealth of artistic talent including the painter Edvard Munch, composer Edvard Grieg, sculptor Gustav Vigeland and playwright Henrik Ibsen. Norway has also produced three winners of the Nobel Prize for Literature: Bjornstjerne Bjornson, Sigrid Undset and Knud Hamsun. Norwegian dishes include laks (grilled or smoked salmon), reker (boiled shrimp) and torsk (cod). Popular at Christmas time is lutefisk (dried cod made near-gelatinous by soaking in lye), which is definitely an acquired taste. A common sight on most breakfast tables is sweet brown goat cheese called geitost and pickled herring. Alcohol may be hard to find in some rural communities where virtual prohibition is the norm.

   Extractions: NATO kontaktsaatkond ... Tourism In the minds of foreigners, Norwegian arts and culture are generally associated with a mixture of Viking Age woodcarving and animal ornaments, stave church decoration, rose painting, folk and national costumes, and a unique folk music tradition that is still strong in certain communities. Other elements of this image include the world-famous dramatist Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), composer Edvard Grieg (1843-1907), painter Edvard Munch (1863-1944) and Knut Hamsun (1859-1952), who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. The development of Norwegian pictorial art, music, literature and architecture is naturally richer and more diversified than these four names may indicate. Pictorial art, which in the 17th and 18th centuries mainly consisted of church decorations painted by German and Danish artists, found its Norwegian expression in the 19th century landscape painters. Later came naturalists like Erik Werenskiold and Christian Krohg and expressionists like Edvard Munch. In the mid-20th century, artists like the German immigrant Rolf Nesch and Kai Fjell influenced Norwegian painting. Today, Håkon Bleken, Knut Rose and Odd Nerdrum are well-known artists on both the national and the international scene. In many ways, it was the national uprising against union with Sweden and the search for a Norwegian national identity that was the inspiration and driving force behind Norwegian art and culture in the 19th century. This also applied to music, where the national-romantic violin virtuoso Ole Bull played a major role. Edvard Grieg also used tunes and harmonies from folk music in his compositions. The best known modern composer of international format today is Arne Nordheim. Many young classical and jazz musicians have won recognition on the international musical scene in recent years, for example Leif Ove Andsnes, Truls Mørk and Jan Garbarek.

San Antonio This page was last updated by Carolynne White March 30, 2001 Even the potato, thought of as almost as Norwegian as brown goats' cheese, originally arrived from abroad. Norwegians celebrated the potato's 250th anniversary last year. What food, then, is Norwegian? Asked which dish we think of first as Norwegian, 65 per cent of us reply meatcakes, while 36 per cent think of lamb and cabbage stew and 23 per cent reply cod. A nationwide survey carried out in January 1994, in connection with the Government's promotion "Competitive Strategies for Norwegian Food", showed distinct regional preferences where dishes are concerned. While meatcakes rank first in all regions, westerners rank potato dumplings second, and Oslo-dwellers rank "lutefisk" (dried cod steeped in lye) third, just ahead of dried mutton ribs and fresh cod.
