The art of Edvard Munch is striking for the originality and
universality of its themes, which cross moments in place and time.
Yet he was very much an artist of the nineteenth century, and the
focus of this publication is to show how especially in his prints
and photographs Munch was enabled by technical advances developed
by his contemporaries to create an entirely new visual language.
Munch is probably best known for his desire to express emotions
surrounding love, illness and death. However, the authors in this
volume show that this preoccupation was not only based on
biographical events but reflects wider contemporary debates on
developments in medicine and science, including treatment of mental
illness, as well as a proliferation of technical expertise in the
production of prints. The arguments presented expand on subjects
touched upon in the critically acclaimed British Museum exhibition
Edvard Munch: love and angst (2019). Munch's remarkable prints were
fundamental to establishing his international career, but there
remains much to investigate in connection with the background to
his innovatory techniques, his relationship with contemporary
printmakers and his experiments with photography. The authors in
this volume go some way to address these themes and outline future
avenues of research.
