The Symbolist Prints of Edvard Munch: The Vivian and David Campbell Collection

Michael Parke-Taylor; Elizabeth Prelinger; Peter Schjeldahl

Synopsis:
Edvard Munch is one of the twentieth century's greatest printmakers, and his works--particularly The Scream and Madonna-- have made their way into the popular culture of our time. This handsome book considers Munch's graphic work through the lens of an extraordinary private collection that includes outstanding impressions of virtually every one of his major prints, along with alternate versions and early states. The book underscores the technically experimental nature of Munch's Symbolist prints and demonstrates the great themes of love and death that characterize his fin-de-siecle imagery.
