The Kristiania Bohemians were a political and cultural movement of naturalist and neo-romanticist artists in the 1880s centered in Kristiania (now Oslo), Norway. They got their name from the 1886 book Fra Kristiania-bohêmen by nihilist Hans Jæger, the leading figure of the movement, a book that caused him to be convicted and sentenced for infringement of modesty and public morals, and for blasphemy. Other figures in the movement were Christian and Oda Krohg, and Edvard Munch was connected as well.
The Kristiania Bohemians were rebelling against the prevailing social structure, and held loud discussions on morals, sex, drugs and free love. They believed that institution of marriage should be abolished and that there should be full sexual freedom between the sexes. The Kristiania Bohemians are also known for their self-satirizing Nine Bohemian Commandments (1889).
Paintings: Hans Jæger by Edvard Munch, Oda Krohg by Christian Krohg, Absinthe Drinkers and Kristiania Bohême II 1895 by Edvard Munch
