Edvard Munch Prints

The Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is regarded, along with Van Gogh and Gauguin, as one of the fathers of Expressionism. This new monograph provides a general introduction to Munch’s prints in the context of 20th-century European art and is the first to describe all of the innovative printmaking techniques used by the artist. Forty of his finest prints from the unrivalled collection of the Munch Museum, Oslo, have been selected to illustrate these techniques. Together, they confirm Munch’s position as a leading graphic artist who produced some of the most powerful images of modern printmaking.
