‎800 women raped in Homs. That’s your sister, your daughter, your mother, your wife—that’s your brother’s lady, pregnant with the baby of the man who murdered him. That’s Syria. Wake up world.

EDVARD MUNCH | ”Madonna” | 1895
Born in Scandinavia, a region known for long periods of cold and darkness, Edvard Munch shared the Symbolist mentality of artists and writers from that locale and throughout Europe in the 1890’s. He rejected the Impressionist practice of studying effects of light on the external world and instead looked inward to explore themes of love and jealousy, loneliness and anxiety, and sickness and death. His personal history, with the premature loss of his mother and an older sister, as well as complex and unsatisfactory entanglements with women, provided him with a constant source of artistic motifs. [x]
“The femme fatale reflects a gender confusion as women break out of the domestic confines of the home and move more into the workforce after the Industrial Revolution. Fears of a breakdown on the homefront in terms of the family unit lead to fears of women’s newfound freedom and especially fears of an unleashed female sexuality. The femme fatale reflects those cultural fears. This Madonna is a fully sexualized woman—once again an example of nature eroticized rather than spiritualized. This was during the age of Freud and the discovery of the unconscious and the sexual drives that lurk in all of us, such as Eros and Thanatos—Freud’s coupling of sexuality and death urges.” [x]
