| book description |

The definitive English-language account of a singular Nordic artist The Norwegian painter, novelist, and social critic Christian Krohg (1852â€“1925) is best known for creating highly political paintings of workers, prostitutes, and Skagen fishermen of the 1880s and for serving as a mentor to Edvard Munch. One of the Nordic countries' most avant-garde naturalist artists, Krohg was influenced by French thinkers such as Ã‰mile Zola, Claude Bernard, and Hippolyte Taine, and he shocked the provincial sensibilities of his time. His work reached beyond the art world when his book Albertine and its related paintings were banned upon publication. Telling the story of a young seamstress who turns to a life of prostitution, it galvanized support for outlawing prostitution in Norwayâ€”but Krohg was also punished for the work's sexual content. Examining the theories of Krohg and his fellow naturalists and their reception in Scandinavian intellectual circles, Ã˜ystein SjÃ¥stad places Krohg in an international perspective and reveals his striking contribution to European naturalism. In the process, Christian Krohg's Naturalism provides an unparalleled account of Krohg's art.
