During my short stay in Trondheim I managed to catch an excellent exhibition here--Håkon Bleken's retrospective painting exhibition titled "Do not go gentle", spanning a period of more than 70 years. This exhibition was mounted on the occasion of Bleken turning 90 on January 9 this year. Bleken is a son of the soil, so to speak, as he is one of the most loved artists of Trondheim. The title of the exhibition is more than tongue in cheek, as Bleken is well known to have a very difficult relationship with his father, whom he painted several times, most famously as he lay dying. For me the room which had about 6 canvases devoted to his long-time friend the composer Arne Nordheim, was the best if the lot. The depiction of loneliness in the posture and gait of Nordheim during the composer's last few days at a care home in Trondheim, come out as a great tribute to a great mind. Guided tours available at 6:30 on Saturdays and Sundays.
