“Norwegian Revolutionary Honored by Fogg Museum”

The article, written by Dorothy Adlow, discusses an exhibition of Edvard Munch’s graphic works at the Fogg Museum of Art at Harvard University. It describes Munch’s revolutionary approach—breaking from Impressionism, distorting form, and using expressive line and color to convey emotion and psychological states. The article references key works such as The Scream, Anxiety, and Jealousy, and notes Munch’s influence on modern art and Expressionism. A portrait drawing of Munch is printed to the right of the text.

The article notes that Munch was a Norwegian born in 1863 and that the exhibition included 40 prints executed in drypoint, lithograph, and woodcut. It also mentions that the museum’s “Outrider” is a lithograph by Munch titled Henri Van de Velde, shown at right.
