Covering many aspects of Munch's versatile and diverse approaches, the publication includes articles on individual themes and phenomena encompassing Munch's evolving perspective on art. Also covered are new perspectives from contemporary research, resulting from special exhibitions and from the catalogues raisonnés of Munch's prints and paintings, in addition to the artist's own copious writings. While Munch's best-known works The Scream and The Sun place him squarely in the canon of Modernism, this publication directs a fresh look at his response to modernistic issues, such as the relationship between art and reality, the position of the individual in the world, the modern role of the artist, and issues relating to Munch and the public. The publication also offers a comprehensive bibliography and a timeline of the artist's life.

Reviews for Edvard Munch: 1863–1944

[Emin's] work has always grappled with the vulnerability of life, but now the specter of mortality hangs low, and the poignancy of these pictures feels more acute.--Eleanor Nairne New York Times A heart-rending duet between two of Modern art's great confessionalists...--Matthew Holman Art Newspaper Emin and Munch, though separated by time and history, explore the same emotional landscape in their works with remarkable intensity.-- Art & Object Emin's ability to evoke suffering is brought to full expression in this visceral pairing with the Norwegian painter.--Tim Adams Guardian Vital [...] for anyone interested in how to capture the human condition in an artwork, providing a masterclass in expressing the inner workings of the soul through art. With this exhibition Emin carries the baton of artist-existentialist from one century to another.--Lee Sharrock FAD
