The Artist's Notes

I chose a little spring atmosphere, which I am fond of myself,

Astrup, Nikolai to Aslaksen, Edvard Waldemar, 1909-01. Nasjonalbiblioteket, Brevs.295-331570. p. 1.

since I am fond of this spring atmosphere, because it is one of my first works, one that is executed with intensity even though it is done with considerable naïveté, (something I do not consider a failing)

Astrup, Nikolai to Aslaksen, Edvard Waldemar, 1909-01. Nasjonalbiblioteket, Brevs.295-331570. p. 2.
