Softcover. Condition: VG+. Light blue wraps with color illustration and white text. 190 pp. Chiefly illustrations. The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) and the German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (1880-1938) were avid draftsmen and printmakers who exploited the perceptual and emotional power of color for creative expression and portrayed what they perceived to be a fragmented and harrowing reality. A generation apart, they are considered modernist visionaries whose mental illness-both artists endured bouts of depression, substance abuse, and psychiatric hospitalizations-fueled their creative genius. Exploring how Munch and Kirchner depicted their shared traumatic experiences of both personal and societal anxiety, this study also looks at the ways in which the widespread nationalism and perceived moral decay throughout Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century paralleled a widespread interest in the recognition and treatment of mental illness and the development of psychoanalytic practice. Featuring never-before-published prints from the Nelson Blitz and Catherine Woodard collection, as well as etchings, lithographs, and hand-colored woodcuts from select museum collections across the United States, this volume puts these two transformative artists in a dialogue that foregrounds issues of mental health and offers a new and intriguing approach that blends art history with a history of medical treatment and illuminates new aspects of the artists' works.…

Hardcover. Condition: As new. Square Quarto. Hardcover. Printed paper boards. No jacket, as issued. Illustrated end papers. 227 pages : color illustrations, color portraits ; 27 cm. "Denmark in the nineteenth century experienced the disastrous fallout of the Napoleonic Wars, the devastating bombardment of Copenhagen, bankruptcy, and mounting antagonism with Germany. Yet, this sociopolitical and economic tumult also gave rise to a vibrant cultural and philosophical environment for nineteenth-century Danish artists. Beyond the Light places the drawings, oil sketches, and paintings created by these artists firmly in this period, one that witnessed the transformation of a once-powerful Denmark into a small, somewhat marginalized country at the edge of Europe. Danish artists forged a close-knit community during this time, and the artworks they created explore notions of place, identity and belonging, and what it means to travel and return home. The exhibition features approximately 100 works from The Met collection, SMK - The National Gallery of Denmark, and several American collections, and highlights such artists as Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Constantin Hansen, Martinus Rørbye, and Vilhelm Hammershøi as well as lesser-known figures like Anton Melbye, Johan Thomas Lundbye, Peter Christian Skovgaard, and Heinrich Gustav Ferdinand Holm, among others. Five thematic essays by leading scholars in Denmark and the United States explore the way Danish artists manifested the pride, traditions, and anxieties of their nation; the sea's ever-changing role as a marker of Danish identity; the evolving nature of portraiture; nostalgia for the Danish landscape and folk traditions; and the influence on Danish artists of their travels throughout Europe." -- Metropolitan Museum of Art.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A revealing examination of how mental illness informs and connects the highly charged work of Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (18631944) and the German artist Ernst Ludwig Kirchner (18801938) are considered modernist visionaries. They were also pioneering printmakers, eschewing the mastery of one technique for experimentation across many. Born a generation apart, they worked in an expressionist mode, in which they did not simply replicate what they saw but rather filtered everything through their own imagination and memories. Exploiting the perceptual and emotional power of color and abstraction for creative expression, they portrayed what they perceived to be a fragmented, harrowing reality; both artists endured bouts of anxiety and depression, battled substance abuse, and received psychiatric care. Featuring never-before-published prints from the collection of Nelson Blitz Jr. and Catherine Woodard, as well as etchings, lithographs, and hand-colored woodcuts from select public and private collections across the United States, this volume puts these two giants of Expressionism in a dialogue that foregrounds issues of mental health and offers a fresh approach that blends art history and the history of medical treatment. The included essays examine the artistic affinities and divergences in their printmaking and the ways in which they used shadows to imagine pathologized psychological and psychiatric experiences in their art.
