...draw and paint... Rued Langgaard became aware early on that he also had a special talent for drawing and painting. In Arild in the
summer of 1901, the Langgaard family met the painter, Thorvald Niss (1842-1905), who was amazed at 8-year-old Rued's
talent for drawing. Niss said: "This is enough to make a cat laugh, lad! No, I mean this very seriously. Either he
will become a really great name, or..." Somewhere around 1907-08, Langgaard put pencil and colours aside and dedicated himself to composing.
