Synopsis

August Strindberg and Visual Culture addresses the multiplicity of Strindbergs artistic and literary output. The book charts the vital intersections between theatre, aesthetic theory, and visual elements in his work that have been left largely unexplored. Rather than following traditional genre-bound critical approaches, this book focuses on the intermediality of individual works, the corpus as a whole, and their connections to a wide array of historical and contemporary artists, writers, photographers, film, theatre and museum practitioners. The book is beautifully illustrated, with many never-before-seen images from Strindbergs work, and includes contributions from actress Liv Ullman, director Robert Wilson, and curator and museum director Daniel Birnbaum.
