EDVARD MUNCH

Edvard Munch, the Norwegian artist behind the first truly Expressionist picture The Scream, was an extraordinary talent. Evoking such themes as love, death and anguish, Munch's paintings captured psychological torment, conveying emotion through vivid colours and expressive brushstrokes. After insightful text about his life, work and relationships, this enlightening book reveals his early Naturalist and Impressionist works, takes through his most raw pieces such as The Sick Child and Madonna, and finishes, with his later, calmer art produced in solitude in Norway. You will discover a deep appreciation of Munch as an experimenter and chronicler of life in all its beauty and horror.
