Aspiring artist hailing from the historic city of Stavanger, Aage Stor-stein (*1900—†1983) studied in Paris in the 1920s, where inspired by Picasso developed his own unique style of Cubism executed in soft pastels and later exhibited there and his native Norway as well, eventually securing a teaching post at the National Academy of Fine Arts. Winning a competition to decorator the west gallery of the city hall of Oslo, Storstein’s frescos of the landscapes and mythologies of the country can be found there.
