'The most famous painter in Norway'...?! Uhm, no.


The tagline claiming that Pushwagner is "the most famous painter in Norway" is one hell of an inaccuracy, to put it mildly. 'Complete rubbish' would be another way to put it. He's certainly been the subject of attention and controversy in the media, but I know several people who doesn't know who he is, or perhaps have heard of the character but couldn't give you his name off the top of their heads. I wouldn't even say he's a definite household name. Odd Nerdrum on the other hand, literally everyone knows by both name, looks and reputation. I'd even submit that Vebjørn Sand is more famous in Norway, although that's hardly fair or perhaps logical.

The most interesting, or perhaps even "infamous", might be more accurate. Note that I'm not commenting on either Pushwagners work or the quality of this documentary, since I haven't seen it, just explaining that the statement in the tagline is clearly not true.
