Edvard Munch, Modernism, and Medicine
Allison Morehead is Associate Professor of Art History and Cultural Studies at Queen's University, Canada, and a Visiting Scholar at Massey College in the University of Toronto. She received her doctoral degree from the University of Chicago, and prior to taking up her current post was a research fellow at King's College, Cambridge. She also has a Geneva connection, having received a D.É.S. in Muséologie from the Université de Genève, during which time she worked for the Institut Louis Jeantet d'histoire de la médecine and the Musée d'art et d'histoire. Her forthcoming book, Nature's Experiments and the Search for Symbolist Form, examines the visual practices of French and Scandinavian artists in light of the French psy-sciences, and in particular the application of experimental methods to psychology. This project forms a bridge between her earlier work on the early twentieth-century collecting and display of the art of mediums and the mentally ill to her new work on Edvard Munch and medicine.
