Thames&Hudson

In Another Light is the first comprehensive volume in English on 19th-century Danish Art, a subject that is increasingly acknowledged as an essential subject of the history of art. The extraordinary outburst of artistic energy that occurred in Denmark between 1790 and 1910 has few rivals. Within three generations Danish painters developed a national school that rivaled the artistic centers of France, Germany, and Britain. The range of outstanding works created by the Danish artists includes Classicism, Romanticism, Impressionism, and Symbolism. The book is illustrated with a comprehensive selection of more than 200 key works of art, and an important selection of comparative illustrations including period photographs and ephemera.

This volume accompanies an exhibition organized and circulated by Art Services International. The Norwegian artist Edward Munch has had the misfortune of being labeled a woman-hater. Tempering that myth is the mission of this catalogue and the accompanying exhibition. The book provides extensive evidence of Munch's varied relationships with women who were members of his family, friends, lovers, patrons and subjects of his work. Some of these alliances were loving, some were social, and at least one passion ended in bitter tragedy. Munch and Women: Image and Myth places the artist's friendships into a unified perspective, belying the myth that Munch was a mysogynist. In all 71 prints and drawings are part of this exhibition.

MUNCH

The jarring emptiness following the loss of a loved one, the expansive out-of-body sensation of sensual touch, the lassitude of melancholy and the ecstatic receptivity to sunshine. His ability to capture and convey sensation and feelings through the materials of art, places the Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) at the forefront of European art at the turn of the last century. Interestingly, Munch's artistic exploration of perception, and his persistent questioning of the objectivity of vision, intersect with ideas that matured within the fields of psychology and experimental optics at the time. Edvard Munch: Inner Fire examines these connections, demonstrating his continuing exploration of the conditions of sight. The essays in this catalogue examine this phenomenon while also probing a lesser-known aspect of the artist's work: Munch's relationship to Italy. The first essay, Lasse Jacobsen's 'Edvard Munch. Italian Impressions', explores this connection explicitly, as part of a general overview of Munch's life and work. The second text, 'Reflections in Munch's Inner Eye' by Patricia G. Berman, charts the art historical context of Munch's exploration of experience's subjective dimension. Emil Leth Meilvang's 'Seeing without Sight. Munch's Vision', on its part, explores the relationship between Munch's artistic development and simultaneous developments within the perceptual sciences. Edvard Munch. Inner Fire includes essayistic pieces by authors Melania G. Mazzucco and Hanne Ørstavik: 'I am a Romantic' and 'Who Am I'. Each demonstrates Munch's continuing ability to light the inner fires of other artists.
