Oslo
I find myself in Oslo harbor, on a beautiful late winter’s day. The sun is low in the sky, relatively few clouds, snow on the ground. Took some pictures which need to get posted when I get back.
Went to the small National Gallery. I asked about when they were planning to have today’s stealing of The Scream, to see if I could watch, but they did not seem to think that was very funny. The Scream is impressive, if small. I think this was the very original Scream, that was stolen then recovered, but as with lots of multi-version art “original” is a nebulous concept. The rest of the paintings were nice, Munch is clearly a big theme, but some Van Gogh, Pissarro, Monet as well.
Overall thought- Oslo feels very small, and isolated
