Ep. 61 - Under the Midnight Sun

They say that those who can do and those who can’t teach. But
“they” don’t seem to have ever met a proper teacher. In honor of
the Norwegian town of Bodø’s recognition as a 2024 European Capital
of Culture, we dive into Bodø’s most famous artist, Adelsteen
Normann, the teacher you’ve never heard of, the picture-postcard
modernist who introduced us to the scream that is Edvard Munch,
and, eclipsed though he may have been, the painter who illuminated
both the town he loved and the students he nurtured with the warmth
of a sun that never sets. This episode was produced in partnership
with Bodø2024: European Capital of Culture. See the images:
