More details on the case: Not only is the sentence unbelievably harsh, especially considering that he paid his exorbitant alleged back taxes (50%), but they convicted him on conjecture without solid evidence. This doesn't surprise me coming from an authoritarian socialist state such as Norway. But what does surprise me is that the Norwegian court has decided to give him a harsher punishment even than that given to Ai Weiwei by China, known for their violations of human rights. http://artbabel.blogspot.com/2011/08/odd-nerdrum-sentenced-to-two-years-in.html http://www.facebook.com/notes/richard-thomas-scott/controversy-follows-prison-sentence-of-artist-odd-nerdrum-for-alleged-tax-fraud/10150771713965105 http://fantasticvisions.net/news/2011/08/20/odd-nerdrum-not-permitted-to-paint-in-jail/
