Ep 27 — Helene Knoop on Copying Masterworks in Italy and the Importance of Clichés and Androgynity | The Cave of Apelles

After studying with Odd Nerdrum in the early 2000s, Knoop devoted her time to the frescoes of Pompeii and Antique sculptures. Spending a year in Italy, she copied masterworks in public collections, and shares her experiences.

She talks about the importance of androgyny, clichés – and why you should paint self-portraits.

This conversation was hosted by Jan-Ove Tuv, and was produced by Bork S. Nerdrum, with assistance from Sebastian Salvo and Cassander Straumsgaard.
The centerpiece was the painting “Clio” by Helene Knoop.
