It then focuses on Strindberg’s photography, relates the experimental photographs he took during the 1890s to the natural philosophy he developed during the same period, describes his relations to artistic circles in Paris, and examines his influence on the Swedish painter Carl Larsson. Richly illustrated in full color, the book sheds new light on the achievements of this innovative and deeply troubled genius. / Per Hedström is curator of paintings and sculpture at the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.
