Edvard Munch and August Strindberg

As programming for our current exhibition The Experimental Self: Edvard Munch’s Photography continues, professor Linda Rugg of UC Berkeley presents a lecture on the relationship between Edvard Munch and August Strindberg, and the relationship of both artists to photographic self-portraiture.

This talk will look at the texts and images created by the two men with an eye toward uncovering how a new form of self-fashioning emerges in the tension between the two artists.
