Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Edvard Munch (1863–1944) war ein norwegischer Maler und Grafiker, der Gefühle und Seelenzustände in den Mittelpunkt seines Schaffens stellte. Mit intensiven Farben und einer einzigartigen Bildsprache zwischen Abstraktion und Figuration schuf er Werke, die bis heute faszinieren. Nach Reisen nach Paris und Berlin, wo er bedeutende Künstler und Intellektuelle traf, verbrachte er seine letzten Jahre zurückgezogen in Oslo.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Following key terms from A-Z, these books illuminate little-known aspects and shed new light on familiar motifs and themes. This time about the artist Edvard Munch.

Edvard Munch is one of the most famous painters of the early 20th century and a role model for many artists to this day. His legendary painting Scream even inspired a popular emoji, something that no other artist has ever achieved. Munch had a unique way of placing himself as an individual in the foreground of his art, making his psychological state the subject of his work. In doing so, he created a personal and at the same time universal "diary of the soul" that still captivates us today, as international exhibitions of the Norwegian artist show.

In twenty-six short chapters, from A for anxiety to G for ghosts, R for revolvers and Z for zoo, familiar but also surprising aspects of his art and life are presented in a compelling way.
