Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. 4° - Tipped-in Color reproductions. Edvard Munch (1863-1944) Norwegian painter. His 1893 work The Scream has become one of Western art's most acclaimed images. His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania, Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state; from this emerged his distinctive style. Second edition, text in German language. Original binding and dust-jacket. In Good condition.
