About this Item
Description:
A hairless, ghostly figure on a bridge. The sky orange-red above him. His hands raised to his ears, his mouth wide in a haunting wail. In painting The Scream, Edvard Munch (18631944) created Mona Lisa for our times. The shriek of his iconic figure reverberates around the world, its echo resounding in the work of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Marlene Dumas, and Tracey Emin. This introductory book surveys Munchs staggering capacity for psychodrama in The Scream and beyond. With rich illustration, it looks at the lurid, dark, and deeply modern visions that made up the artists response to relationships and emotions. These compelling images, regarded by the artist himself as a means of free confession, remain as magnetic today as they were on the brink of modernism. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR008673809

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Eine gespenstische Figur auf einer Brücke, über ihr ein orangeroter Himmel, die Hände auf die Ohren gepresst, den Mund zu einem entsetzten Schrei aufgerissen: Als Edvard Munch (1863-1944) 1893 den Schrei malte, schuf er die Mona Lisa unserer Tage. Der Schrei seiner ikonischen Figur, in den die ganze existenzielle Angst des Individuums in der modernen Gesellschaft hineingelegt scheint, hallte in der ganzen Welt wider, von den Werken Andy Warhols über Jasper Johns, Martin Kippenberger, Marlene Dumas bis hin zu Tracey Emin. Diese Einführung zeigt Munchs Besessenheit von der Nachtseite der Seele und den radikalen Erneurer, der keine Genregrenzen gelten ließ und in Druckgrafik wie Malerei neue Wege beschritt. Seine düsteren und hochgradig modernen Visionen wirken heute noch ebenso irritierend und aufregend, wie sie es an der Schwelle zur Moderne waren. Seller Inventory # 9783836528955
