King Haakon Honors Deknatel With Cross

The Knight's Cross, First Class, of the Royal Order of St. Olaf has been conferred on Frederick B. Deknatel, professor of Fine Arts, by King Haakon of Norway.

The award was made in recognition of Deknatel's preparation of the first book in English on the work of the 20th century Norwegian artist, Edvard Munch, and for his part in organizing the first exhibit in the United States of Munch's work. His paintings and graphic works were shown last spring at the Fogg Art Museum and at the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston.
