Edvard Munch - An Anthology

This anthology contains nine essays written by the art historians Frank Høifødt, Jay A. Clarke, Øivind Storm Bjerke, Erik Mørstad, Patricia G. Berman, Gerd Woll, Lill-Ann Körber, Bettina Kaufmann and Tina Yarborough. Their nationalities are a reflection of where interest in Munch's art is greatest and research on him is most actively pursued. The authors discuss across-the-board questions related to idealism, realism and modernism. The body, sexuality, and gender and society are further topics discussed in connection with specific works and their contexts.
