About this Item
A Fine unmarked copy with near Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. 143 pages. 89 illustrations, including 23 in colour. Edvard Munch, the only Scandinavian artist to gain world renown, takes his place beside Van Gogh, Cézanne and Ensor as one of the founders of Expressionism. At the turn of the century he abandoned the concept that art must catch the fleeting, outward impressions of nature, and paved the way for an art which, as the author writes, 'enhances or transcends reality and endeavours to give visible form to general human values, eternal forces of life and the world of ideas'. Throughout his life Munch was greatly influenced by his literary contemporaries Ibsen and Strindberg and the world of his ideas, like that of the latter, was dominated by a preoccupation with the anguish of love and fear, sickness and death - themes which constantly recur in his canvases and graphic work. A1F Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Seller Inventory # 009632
