One of Norway’s greatest artists, Christian Skredsvig (1854-1924) painted during the later part of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries. He is best known for his Norwegian rural landscapes of mountains, forests, farms, vistas, and for his sensitive portrayal of common people, all in Norway. This comprehensive book also covers the periods the artist spent in Munich and Paris, and the influences each place had on his work and life, his relationships with Theodor Kittelsen and Edvard Munch, his travels to Grez and Spain, the influence of national romanticism, and much more--an essential book to the understanding of this glorious period in Scandinavian art.

Novelist, satirist, poet, photographer, painter, alchemist, and hellraiser—August Strindberg was all these, and yet he is principally known, in Arthur Miller's words, as "the mad inventor of modern theater" who led playwriting out of the polite drawing room into the snakepit of psychological warfare. This biography, supported by extensive new research, describes the eventful and complicated life of one of the great literary figures in world literature. Sue Prideaux organizes Strindberg's story into a gripping and highly readable narrative that both illuminates his work and restores humor and humanity to a man often shrugged off as too difficult.
