The composer Arne Nordheim went wild with excitement in front of this painting - back in the early 1990s

Is there life on Mars ... someone we can eat on Mars?

Fusionist painting - combining realism and abstract - was introdused in Norway by H.E. Saele in the early 1970s. The style was first regarded as messy by art dealers and gallerists who said they preferred "old fashion modernism". "You can't paint both realistic and abstract on the very same canvas!" That was some of the comments then, back in the '70s and '80s.
