Theodor Tapestries
Description: Theodor Adorno - Portrait With Flower Crown: Amidst the vogue enjoyed by existentialism and positivism in early 20th-century Europe, Adorno advanced a dialectical conception of natural history that critiqued the twin temptations of ontology and empiricism through studies of Kierkegaard and Husserl. As a classically trained pianist whose sympathies with the twelve-tone technique of Arnold Schoenberg resulted in his studying composition with Alban Berg of the Second Viennese School, Adorno's commitment to avant-garde music formed the backdrop of his subsequent writings and led to his collaboration with Thomas Mann on the latter's novel Doctor Faustus, while the two men lived in California as exiles during the Second World War.
Description: Filosofem (Norwegian for Philosopheme) is the fourth studio album by Norwegian black metal solo project Burzum. It was recorded in March 1993 and was the last recording before Varg Vikernes' imprisonment (16 May 1994); the album was not released until January 1996, however. A music video was made for the song "Dunkelheit" and received airtime on both MTV and VH1. The album is noted for its experimental sound when compared to most other second-wave black metal (see music and artwork section). Vikernes considered the release an "anti-trend album".
Description: Burzum is a Norwegian music project founded by Varg Vikernes in 1991. Although Burzum never played live performances, it became a part of the early Norwegian black metal scene and is considered one of the most influential acts in the history of black metal. He has also released four dark ambient and neofolk albums. The word "Burzum" means "darkness" in the black speech, a fictional language crafted by Lord of the Rings writer J. R. R. Tolkien. Burzum's lyrics and imagery are often inspired by fantasy and Norse mythology and do not feature political views.

Description: "Lediggang er roten til alt ondt" or "Vacancy is the root of all evil" is a 1898 illustration by Norwegian artist, Theodor Kittelsen (1857-1914). This odd illustration shows a root vegetable (presumably a carrot) smoking a cigarette, heedlessly sauntering through some ants as they are constructing something. Theodor Severin Kittelsen is one of the most popular artists in Norway and is well-known for his nature paintings, as well as for his illustrations of fairy tales and legends, especially of trolls.
