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.
