Most influentual Norwegian giant

well im bored and out of ideas for any prog polls so I made this, since it is not long for oure 17th of May celebration, celebrating our constitution.

and it just amazes me that a developing country as Norway was in the 19th century managed to give birth to three very influential people in each of their own section of art

one is the godfather of modern drama, one is the first expersionalistic painter and one of the first mordern classical music composers.

but whom do you think is most influential as induividual in their field

Ibsen in theater and film
Grieg in contemporary music /rock/prog or anything
Munch art,

It is impossible to put them up against each others. But I still support this poll....... by voting for all tree equally important. Although I cannot understand why trees comes into play here. Then again; why is that woodpecker hovering over my head ? 

come to life you

 

When I was at school, none of these three greats was taught in lessons. One of the teachers I had in a private marketing college in Oslo was pretty angry at this and made it a point of giving us the basics/f.a.q's on all three greats. She said they would pop up in conversations when we went abroad and it may even be crucial when negotiating business deals.

She was right.

I have found these F.A.Q sheets on Grieg, Munch and Ibsen very useful indeed. Not to mention interesting and revealing. I have also clinched deals on the basics of my knowledge about Henrik Ibsen.       

Grieg, I think...

When I read the title, for some reason I thought it had to do with Troll Hunter
