About this Item

Volume in copertina rigida editoriale, 311 pagine profusamente illustrate a colori. Indice consultabile nelle nostre immagini. Minime, non gravi ammaccature al margine inferiore del retro di copertina, peraltro copia in ottimo stato di una monografia non comune -- In the course of his career, Edvard Munch created around 850 different prints and 8,000 drawings and watercolours. With paper as their common denominator, these can be regarded as an independent group with its own repertoire of techniques, styles, and expressions. As a general introduction to Munch's lifelong engagement with art on paper, this publication encompasses renowned artworks as well as childhood drawings, sketches, curiosities, and unfamiliar treasures. Essays by critically acclaimed art historians examine, among other things, the various techniques Munch used for his prints and drawings; charming early works featuring his family and their daily life; his interaction with contemporary artists and the intellectual milieu of the so-called 'Kristiania Bohemia'; and the impact of his volatile love affair with Tulla Larsen. For those who are unfamiliar with Munch, this book is highly recommended. For those who think they know Munch, it is indispensable.
