Description

Edvard Munch. A Poem of Life, Love and Death, published by Thames & Hudson, takes an entirely new perspective on the art of Edvard Munch. The extensive book contains over 100 different works by Mucnh, including some of his best-known paintings and drawings, as well as lesser-known prints – as well as the artist's unexpected attempts at creative writing! The book also includes seven essays that dig deeper into Munch's philosophical and scientific thinking.

Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée d’Orsay, Edvard Munch: A Poem of Life, Love and Death presents about a hundred works—paintings, drawings, prints, and engraved blocks—reflecting the diversity of Munch’s practice. Seven essays explore the artist in his philosophical and scientific milieu and the places that shaped the man and his art, as well as offering a rare glimpse of Munch’s attempts at creative writing. They also examine the historical evolution of his monumental Frieze of Life series and the world-famous Scream. This publication invites readers to revisit the painter’s work in its entirety by following the thread of an ever-inventive pictorial thinking: a vision that is both fundamentally coherent, even obsessive, and at the same time constantly renewed.
