This superbly illustrated book focuses on the series of paintings called The Frieze of Life, which was assembled as a kind of visual diary by Munch. These are Munch’s finest, most radical, and most emotionally charged paintings of the 1890s - the decade generally acknowledged as his most fertile period of creativity. Leading Munch scholars from Norway, Great Britain, and the US analyze the work. The book is produced by The National Gallery, London. An excellent focus on this particular decade in the artist’s life.
