Andreas Aubert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fredrik Ludvig Andreas Vibe Aubert (28 January 1851 – 10 May 1913) was a Norwegian art historian. Aubert championed Edvard Munch, Puvis de Chavannes, Arnold Böcklin, Max Klinger, Gabriel von Max, and Vilhelm Hammershøi. He described them as "neurasthenics", by which he meant that their art was oriented toward the psychological. He had an important role in restoring the legacy of the German Romantic painter Caspar David Friedrich, now considered the leading artist of that period, toward the end of the 19th century.
