Paintings by Frithjof Hoel“I work with a theme that is based on a highly idealized representation of mankind. It is in many ways a moral project. The themes have references to Blut und Boden aesthetics. One would search for the roots, Blut und Boden (Blood and Soil).Blut und Boden originated in the German Nationalist circles in the early 1900s and was a kind of romantic / religious life philosophy in relationship between family, descent blood and homeland. It was also an idealization of the traditional agricultural and rural living.” -- source link
