The Amazing Fantasy Art of Theodor Kittelsen

The Norwegian artist Theodor Kittelsen is my favorite painter. During his career as an illustrator he defined the look of trolls, Norwegian folklore, and The Black Death in Norway.
This short documentary includes some of his best paintings and illustrations, and explains what makes his fantasy art so great.
