Around 1900, modern artists discovered in Gothic art a powerful source of inspiration for their own creativity. In the cultures of a distant Gothic age, they found figural modes, a sense of enchantment, and an expressive potency. The fascination of Edvard Munch, Käthe Kollwitz and their immediate circle with medieval sites, paintings, prints and other artistic media of Europe’s north and German lands, unlocked creative experiments in modern art beyond borders of nations and cultures to energize a ‘Gothic modernity’. This book is the first to explore how these artists re-imagined Gothic art between the 1870s and 1920s to project new visions of the artist and modern society; of belonging, sexuality, spirituality and identity.
