Book Description

Publication Date: September 2002

This book explores how and why the influential Norwegian artist Edvard Munch exploited late nineteenth-century physiology
as a means to express the Symbolist soul. Munch’s series of paintings through the 1890s, known collectively as the Frieze of Life, looked to the physiologically functioning (and malfunctioning) living organism for both its visual and organized metaphors.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Real Scream, September 5, 2006

Michael A. Anderson "reads at random" (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Edvard Munch and the Physiology of Symbolism (Hardcover)

Although the text was a bit more dense than what I'm accustomed to reading, I really enjoyed the perspective that Dr. Wood brought to Munch's life and work. I'll never think of that iconic painting of his--as disturbing as it is unforgettable--in the same way. I have read longer books that have said much less, the read was well worth the time spent.
