Simplistic shapes like "lines and circles" do carry alot of meaning, and they are in life.

You seem like a conservative who doesnt like change. You can think of art types as degenerate, but its not that productive to shout at a moving train begging it to stop. Just make your own movement, or promote contemporary artists who you like.

Your participating in a huge debate, but you dont seem super knowledgeable.

>Norway used to be such a hardy land, shame about the socialist lethargy that's hit a lot of it.
Don't mix us up with Sweden. While the media and parts of the urban population have fallen victim to socialist dogma, we're probably one of the more conservative and nationalistic countries in western Europe, and we keep many of our traditions alive.
Our anti-immigration party became part of a conservative coalition government back in 2013, and they greatly restricted immigration after the migrant crisis in 2015. In 2016, we only accepted something like 3,500 refugees, which is the lowest number in nearly 20 years. There's also been a great rise in people who are critical to modern conventions like immigration, feminism and self-loathing, and they frequently have debates and write articles in various Norwegian newspapers.

>Might be why you don't see so many artists like Kittelsen coming out of there.
We still have Odd Nerdrum. He's a conservative painter who's been rebelling against the contemporary art community since the 60s. He refused to paint like the modernists, and instead decided to paint like the great masters. You might like him, as his themes are often dark, depressing and bleak.
