In Lillehammer (part 1)

Collett Painting, courtesy the Lillehammer Art MuseumAs traditional a small-town as Lillehammer is, it has a beautifully modern arts museum, built in 1994. I’m told that this painting by Frederik Collett is typical of the style that artists from this region were known for: the winter landscape. Collett lived in Oslo, but late each autumn, he could be seen running to the train station, explaining only in exclamation, “I must catch the train, the first snow has arrived in Lillehammer!”
