One of the Nordic countries' most avant-garde naturalist artists, Krohg was influenced by French thinkers such as ﾉmile Zola, Claude Bernard, and Hippolyte Taine, and he shocked the provincial sensibilities of his time. His work reached beyond the art world when his book \u003ci\u003eAlbertine\u003c\/i\u003e and its related paintings were banned upon publication. Telling the story of a young seamstress who turns to a life of prostitution, it galvanized support for outlawing prostitution in Norway--but Krohg was also punished for the work's sexual content.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExamining the theories of Krohg and his fellow naturalists and their reception in Scandinavian intellectual circles,  ystein Sj蚶tad places Krohg in an international perspective and reveals his striking contribution to European naturalism. In the process, Christian Krohg's Naturalism provides an unparalleled account of Krohg's art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e ﾘYstein Sj蚶tad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295742062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295742069\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 5.30w x 0.90d","brand":"ﾘYstein Sj蚶tad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075996545279,"sku":"9780295742069","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5ef056c2-225f-48c3-893b-02bdb1caa643.jpg?v=1685462597","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/christian-krohgs-naturalism-ystein-sjstad-9780295742069","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
