Abstract (en)

Argues that Munch's development should be seen in the light of an underlying commitment to 19th c. attitudes, and regarded less as a renunciation of realism than as a subjective extension of it. As evidence of this, discusses Munch's use of geometrical perspective and the techniques he used to suggest the passage of time. Concludes that, by identifying time with space-depth, Munch sought to overcome the narrative deficiency inherent in naturalistic painting.
