Henrik Ibsen did realistic plays of the 1800’s, which brought him fame as the Father of Drama. A strong influence on the art style of the early 1990’s was the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch. He was his country’s greatest artist. His paintings often had themes like misery, sickness and death. The Cry is his most familiar painting. Gustav Vigeland made the famous statues which stand in Oslo’s Frogner Park. This park contains 192 full sized sculptures which contain more than 600 figures. These are all displayed in full size. Vigeland always worked alone and he created sculptures for the park until his death in 1943. Some of his more famous sculptures are the Monolith, the Monolith Plateau, the Fountain and the Wheel of Life. Bjornstjerne Bjornson, Knut Hamsun and Sigrid Undset all have two things in common. They are all Norwegian authors, and they have all won the Nobel Prize for literature. Last, but not least, Norway’s best known composer is Edvard Greig. Edvard Greig became famous for his new piano pieces that he created for young amateurs all over the world to play in their homes. Economic Pattern Norway is one of the wealthiest nations in the world. This is mostly due to the development of inexpensive hydroelectric power. Located in Eidfjord is one of Norway’s largest hydroelectric power plants. Norway is a non-industrial culture, meaning that the majority of the population lives in rural areas and the people produce their own food, clothes, and build their own houses. Because of its lack of machines, Norway relies heavily on timber, farming and crops, sheep farming and other livestock production. Natural resources include oil and gas, iron ore, pyrite, ilmenite, lead, molybdenite, zinc and some coal. Norway’s currency is the Krone. $100.00 Canadian dollars are equal to $535.18 Norwegian krones. Norway also owns a fishing fleet. Norways fishing fleet is among the world's largest and most efficient. Environment (part of Economic) Three main land regions make up Norway: the Mountainous plateau, the South-eastern lowlands and the Trondheim lowlands. The lowlands are densely populated and hold all of the country’s farming areas. The narrow northern part of Norway is bordered by the Kjolen Mountains. Norway’s other two mountain ranges, located in the south, are the Dovre Mountains and the Long Mountains. The Long Mountains are home to the tallest mountain in Norway, Galdhopiggin, and also the largest highland plain, the Hardanger plateau. Glaciers formed many of the lakes and deep valleys of Norway. There are also many rivers in Norway. Some of these are Glama, Lagen and Otra. Norway’s climate is pretty nice. The winters are fairly mild despite that it is located so far north. In Oslo the average annual temperature range is between – 4 degrees Celsius and 17 degrees Celsius. Norway has a very jagged coastline with hundreds of fjords and peninsulas. This coastline is 13,267 miles, half the distance of the equator. The coastline is also fringed by many islands and skerries ( rocky reefs). Sogne Fiord is Norway’s longest Fjord. Religious Pattern Norway’s religion is Evangelical Lutheran ( 88%). Even though most people say they are religious, Norway has an extremely low attendance for Sunday Mass. The country has a very relaxed attitude about religion, but 60% of the people say they believe in God. The information from a new study says that one in ten Norwegians say They are not religious, while most say they are only a little bit so. This makes Norwegians the least religious in Europe.
