Paperback. Condition: Very Good. There is little doubt that the celebrated Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch (1863-1944) had the greatest impact on expressionism of any Scandinavian artist. His intense, evocative treatment of psychological and emotional themes exerted a major influence on the art of the twentieth century. Often biographical, his output offers a fascinating insight into the psyche of an artist. No artist observed and painted himself throughout his life as frequently as Munch, and few have revealed their weaknesses and anxieties as frankly. This handsome volume, the catalogue of an exhibition at the Moderna Museet, Stockholm, the Munch Museet, Oslo, and the Royal Academy of Arts, London, contains beautiful reproductions of 150 paintings, drawings and rarely seen photographic self-portraits of startling originality. The curator and scholar Iris Muller-Westermann sets them in context in her incisive account of the artist's life and career, and Merete Mazzarella examines how many of Munch's preoccupations remain relevant today. Edvard Munch: By Himself sheds light for the first time on the uniquely wide range of Munch's self-portraits, enabling us to trace the visual self-reflections of one of the most influential figures in modern art. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: Used. In a world saturated with picture-perfect art books that flash vibrant images of canvases and curatorial commentary, "Munch By Himself" by Iris Muller-Westermann emerges like an eccentric uncle at a formal dinner?slightly disheveled, but brimming with unfiltered wisdom. Published in 2005 by the Royal Academy of Arts, this work invites readers to peel back the layers of Edvard Munch?s life with all the delicacy of a drunken raccoon rummaging through a dumpster. After all, who wouldn?t want to explore the psyche of an artist who is best known for a painting that seems to scream louder than a toddler in a toy store? What lies within these pages is a quirky yet earnest attempt to understand Munch?s artistic odyssey?a journey fraught with existential crises, melancholy, and perhaps an unquenchable thirst for existential angst. With a title that suggests a solitary figure munching on snacks in a corner, one may wonder if this book delivers insights or merely a guide to the most snack-worthy paintings. Spoiler alert: it?s both, and if you ever wanted to know how many biscuits Munch might have devoured while contemplating the human condition, you might just find that answer nestled between some rather serious essays. Muller-Westermann masterfully wanders through Munch?s tumultuous life, exploring how his personal tragedies are reflected in his art?just like how one?s lunch choices often reflect their emotional state. Did Munch paint "The Scream" after a particularly harrowing encounter with a soggy sandwich? You?ll have to read on to find out! This book tantalizes with subtext while keeping the reader guessing whether the author is serious or just having a laugh at our expense. Throughout the chapters, one can expect a delightful mélange of artistic critique, biographical anecdotes, and the occasional existential musing that makes you ponder whether you should be reading a book about art or simply searching for deeper meaning in your own snack choices. Forget the sterile art critique; here lies a refreshing take that might just inspire you to analyze your own lunch breaks as an artistic expression. Join us as we unravel the enigma of the man behind "The Scream," one potato chip at a time. For those who enjoy a book that feels like an intellectual scavenger hunt, "Munch By Himself" may offer just the right blend of insight and whimsy. Its pages are a tapestry of thoughts, some as disjointed as a toddler trying to assemble a puzzle while simultaneously deciding whether to eat the pieces or not. You might find yourself questioning Munch?s sanity or your own as you ponder his relationship with the world?one biscuit at a time. Condition: Used, and much like Munch himself, this book carries its own unique scars and quirks?spines that have cracked under the weight of existential thought, pages that may have been dog-eared by an overly enthusiastic reader, and the occasional coffee ring that adds character (or just a hint of immoderate snacking). Each wrinkle in the cover tells a story, much like the artist?s own tumultuous journey through life and art. So, if you?re ready to lose yourself in the beautifully chaotic mind of Edvard Munch, alongside the ramblings of a truly whimsical author, grab a copy of this second-hand treasure from Crappy Old Books. Immerse yourself in an experience that promises not just to inform, but to entertain?as if you?ve stumbled upon a conversation about art over a cup of poorly made tea, where the scones are slightly stale but the insights are fresh. Because at the end of the day, isn?t that what art is really about? Enjoying the imperfectly perfect moments, one mouthful at a time? THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. At the turn of the twentieth century, Swedish artist Hilma af Klint (18621944) created a body of work that left visible reality behind, exploring the radical possibilities of abstraction years before Vasily Kandinsky, Kazimir Malevich, or Piet Mondrian. Many consider her the first trained artist to create abstract paintings. With Hilma af Klint: Notes and Methods, we get to experience the arc of af Klints artistic investigation in her own words. Hilma af Klint studied at the Royal Swedish Academy in Stockholm where she was part of the first generation of female students. Up until the beginning of the century, she painted mainly landscapes and detailed botanical studies. Her work from this period was that of a young artist of her time who meticulously observed the world around her. But, like many of her contemporaries, af Klint was also interested in the invisible relationships that shape our world, believing strongly in a spiritual dimension. She joined the Theosophical Society, and, with four fellow female members who together called themselves The Five, began to study mediumship. Between 1906 and 1915, purportedly guided by a higher power, af Klint created 193 individual works that, in both scale and scope of imagery, are like no other art created at that time. Botanically inspired images and mystical symbols, diagrams, words, and geometric series, all form part of af Klints abstract language. These abstract techniques would not be seen again until years later.Notes and Methods presents facsimile reproductions of a wide array of af Klints early notebooks accompanied by the first English translation of af Klints extensive writings. It contains the rarely seen Blue Notebooks, hand-painted and annotated catalogues af Klint created of her most famous series Paintings for the Temple, and a dictionary compiled by af Klint of the words and letters found in her work. This extraordinary collection is edited by and copublished with Christine Burgin, and features an introduction by Iris Mueller-Westermann. It will stand as an important and timely contribution to the legacy of Hilma af Klint. Notes and Methods presents facsimile reproductions of a wide array of af Klints early notebooks accompanied by the first English translation of af Klints extensive writings.
