In this magnificently illustrated book the chief curator of the Munch Museum in Oslo presents the results of 15 years of research on Munch’s life. The author’s special access to Munch’s estate, private papers, and entire collection of over 1600 works makes this a truly revelatory exploration of the Norwegian Expressionist painter. A third of the 450 illustrations here are of works never before reproduced; sketches, watercolors, and pencil-and-ink drawings are juxtaposed with finished masterpieces. The accompanying text, augumented with Munch’s own words, makes it seem as though the artist himself were displaying his work. This compelling work will take you into the heart and head of one of the 20th century’s most important artists.

This important new survey, accompanying a major touring exhibition, shows Munch to have been fully engaged with modernity, particularly by tracing his involvemnent with its key methods of representation: photography, cinematography,and a renewal of the theatrical mise-en-scene. All of these mediums left their mark upon his painting. In addition to a large number of instantly recognizable masterpieces, this lavishly illustrated book reproduces many lesser-known works, as well as a wide selection of Munch’s photographs and sketches. Munch’s adoption of photography and film in particular will be a revelation to many; his moody and atmospheric self-portraits and the studio shots of models that are placed alongside finished paintings reveal the way one medium fed into another. With essays by an international selection of authorities, extracts of previously untranslated writings by the artist, a chronology and bibliography, this is one of the most comprehensive and revealing surveys of Munch’s works yet published.

This book presents a portrait that is so intimate, refreshingly honest and revealing that Edvard Munch, (taciturn, illusive, legendary), emerges from the pages a living human being. Among the privileged few who gained the great Norwegian artist’s confidence, only Stenersen could have written such a book, having possessed the two essential prerequisites for such an undertaking: a personal and psychological insight into the Munch mystique, and a literary style admirably suited for Munch’s own pointed, incisive and bluntly informal mode of expression. This book has been widely acclaimed by critics, who have called it “unique... nearly perfect... entertaining... incomparable.”
