| Summary: | This article considers the significance of the art critic William Ritter’s airing of a comparison between Munch and Velázquez in
a lengthy text written in the wake of Munch’s major solo exhibition in Prague in 1905. In suggesting that Munch might be a
“hospital Velazquez,” Ritter engaged the work of Julius Meier-Graefe and R.A.M. Stevenson, but offered an ambivalent view of the
emerging histories of modern art. |
