This thesis posits the argument that Gerda Fromel was a sculptor working in Ireland at a time interest in modern abstract sculpture was growing in the country. It looks at her life and works through a phenomenological and a psychological lens. She emerges as a modernist, rooted in a European artistic sensibility with the ability to assimilate and intuit influences. This combined with her fastidious craftsmanship and creative eminence makes her an artist of Irish and European signifiance.As she moves into abstraction, noted are the infuences, Morris Graves, Giacometti, Brancusi and Barbara Hepworth. She was part of a dynamic artistic milieu in Ireland and counted as friends many significant artists and it can be exrapolated from this that discussion of influences were inevitable. Male and Female criticism of Fromel’s work is also discussed.

The Influence of Bohemianism on the Life and Work of Edvard Munch

My dissertation explores Edvard Munch’s exposure to Bohemianism. He made contact with the Bohemian group, Kristiania Boheme, at an early stage in his career and was infleunced by their ideas and lifestyle. Munch owes the turn in his career, to paint from his own life experiences, to the influence of the Bohemians, especially Hans Jaeger. This influence had a long lasting effect on Munch’s artistic style/ He was associated with other Bohemian groups and artists throughout his life and was familiar with all of their views. He accepted some and rejected others. He especially rejected the Bohemian ideal of “free love,’ which stood for women’s sexual liberation and freedom for all to enjoy sex outside of marriage. His acquaintances with advocates of free love, fellow misogynists and Bohemian women, shaped his views on women and love.

This thesis explores a thematic collection of architectural paintings of the Oude Kerk in Delft that belong to a unique genre of architectural paintings that flourished in the Dutch Republic around the middle of the seventeenth-century. This body of work aims to challenge the common hypothesis that the perspective, and what follows, the proportions and composition of the paintings, was distorted. The presence of distortions is undeniable, although, there is a lack of comprehensive and detailed examination of all the known paintings of the Oude Kerk in Delft. It is the first time that the collection of over eighty paintings representing the same space is examined as a whole. Additionally, as an unprecedented working collection on the theme, it creates a new digital research environment to use for further study of the Oude Kerk in Delft and paintings of other church interiors in the 17th century Dutch art. This environment is the thesis?s practice-based component, the art-historical thematic research collection, which acts as a platform for the research undertaken in this study as well as a platform for dissemination and further development.
