Edvard Munch : Psyche, Symbol and Expression

Published in conjunction with an exhibit at the McMullen Museum of Art at Boston College, "Edvard Munch: Psyche, Symbol and Expression" includes nine essays from scholars representing a variety of disciplines.

From themes of love, sexuality, gender and anxiety to comparisons with Ibsen and Kierkegaard, the catalogue explores the meanings of Munch's imagery, his sources in Symbolist art, and his legacy for German Expressionism within the context of his contemporaries' developments in psychology, literature, and philosophy.

The volume includes many illustrations from rarely seen private collections and some that have never been exhibited before.
