description: This volume accompanies an exhibition organized and circulated by Art Services International. The Norwegian artist Edward 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 book provides 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. Munch and Image and Myth places the artist's friendships into a unified perspective, belying the myth that Munch was a mysogynist. In all 71 prints and drawings are part of this exhibition.
