"Edvard Munch's ""Frieze of Life"" in the context of nineteenth-century physiology"

Abstract

dc:description

This work explores how and why the artist Edvard Munch exploited late nineteenth-century physiology as a means to express the Symbolist soul. Munch's subject matter may have dealt with feelings and the soul, love, life, death, and creativity. But it is the contemporary physiological framework that he seems to have drawn upon that helped him deepen and broaden his own understanding of these themes.
