A painted boy sticking out his tongue at a door the painter never asked for

The Mocking Mural in Oslo City Hall

Willi Midelfart composed Det gror, the painting of fjord bathers that fills the end wall of Oslo City Hall’s banquet hall, around a single kitchen door. When a second door was cut through his wall, he had to repaint parts of the picture, and he painted in a small boy who points at the newcomer and sticks out his tongue.
