The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch has had the misfortune of being labeled a woman-hater. Tempering that myth is the mission of this catalogue and the accompanying exhibition. The pages that follow provide extensive evidence of Munch’s varied relationships with women who were members of his family, friends, lovers, patrons, and subjects of his work. Some of these alliances were loving, some were social, and at least one passion ended in bitter tragedy. This book places the artist’s friendships into a unified perspective, belying the myth that Munch was a mysogynist.
