Summary "In Scandinavia around the turn of the century, both established order and artistic tradition were challenged as a proliferation of talented artists sought to express new ideas against a backdrop of contention, both aesthetic and political. It was a 'golden age' for Nordic art; yet with the exception of Edvard Munch, remarkably little attention has been focused on the richness and diversity of the paintings made in Scandinavia during these years."--Jacket.
