This printing of a variety of writings by Nerdrum and others includes speeches, essays, and humorous pieces such as "The Kitch Questionnaire," and "Kitch Aphorisms." This book is an opportunity to discover the thought process of one of the world's most unique and compelling artists.Nerdrum, Odd is the author of 'On Kitsch' with ISBN 9788248901235 and ISBN 8248901238.
