Life
Normann was born in 1871 as the first of five children of the Norwegian landscape painter Adelsteen Normann and his German wife Catharina Henriette Hubertine Weitgan (1845–1911) in Düsseldorf. Her father taught her to paint. She developed a romantic style that was based on the painting of Hans Dahl , a painter friend of her father's, and his son Hans Andreas Dahl . Often she depicted young women in Norwegian costumes against the backdrop of a summer fjord landscape . Her family, who moved from Düsseldorf to Berlin in 1887, always kept in close contact with Norway. In Balestrand on the Sognefjord , her father had the Villa Normann built as a summer residence in 1890/1891 in the dragon style that was popular at the time . In 1897 she painted the altarpiece with a depiction of the Redeemer for the Saint Olav Church in Balestrand .
In 1899 Emma Normann married the art historian Willy Pastor , the editor of the year books of the visual arts and representative of a life-reforming and völkisch world of thought, whose books she illustrated. On June 28, 1902, their daughter Helga († August 12, 1987) was born in Berlin, who was to become an art and porcelain painter and ballet dancer. During this time she translated Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson's novel Paa Guds Veje (On God's Ways) into German. In 1910 Emma Pastor Normann and her husband had an artist's villa built not far from their father's summer residence in Balestrand, the Heimdalstrand villa , also known as the Pastorahuset . According to the couple's ideas, the Norwegian artist Ivar Høyvik (1881–1961) carved decorative details, especially on the gable of the house, in the national romantic dragon style. After the marriage with Willy Pastor was divorced in 1920, mother and daughter often lived and worked there together. In 1944 they moved there entirely for a while because of the air raids on Berlin .
Emma Pastor Normann's grave is on Vår Frelsers Gravlund in Oslo .
