Henrik Ibsen was a major Norwegian playwright, often referred to as the father of modern realistic drama. Ibsens's work was very controversial in his life time, even considered scandalous and outrageous by some. This because his characters' actions and characteristics were considered immoral and yet the characters suffered no moral consequence. Ibsen had a great influence on George Bernard Shaw's thinking who wrote favorably on his dramas and had translated some of his plays to English. Ibsen was also a prolific painter.
