DESCRIPTION:May 28 - Oct 18\, 2026\nThe Norwegian painter Asta Nørregaard 
 refused to let social norms limit her ambitions. Known as the “fashion p
 ainter” of Norwegian art\, she was born in Kristiania—now Oslo—in 18
 53. Nørregaard began her education at Knud Bergslien\, a painting school.
  But because women were barred from attending academic institutions at the
  time\, there were limited opportunities for women to become artists. Desp
 ite that reality\, Nørregaard became Norway’s first woman artist to rec
 eive a commission for a religious work—the altarpiece at Gjøvik Church.
  She is best known for her vividly expressive portraits—subjects ranging
  from Edvard Munch to Norwegian women’s rights activists. Her capture of
  character is enhanced by her way with clothing\, the drama of dress. Cont
 inuing to forge her own path\, Nørregaard opened her own painting school 
 and set up funds for female artists. She died in 1933\, and is now receivi
 ng renewed attention as a force in Norwegian art. This exhibition features
  major works from the 1870s through the 1920s.
