The catalog delves into the intersection of Gothic aesthetics and modernist expression, featuring over 200 works by artists such as Edvard Munch, Vincent van Gogh, Hugo Simberg, Käthe Kollwitz, Helene Schjerfbeck, and others. Essays by leading scholars provide insights into the cultural and historical contexts that shaped this artistic movement.

Whether you’re a scholar, collector, or enthusiast of modern art, Gothic Modern offers a compelling exploration of the powerful legacy of the Gothic in shaping the art of a turbulent new age.
