An authoritative new publication that revisits Munch’s work in
its entirety. Edvard Munch occupies a pivotal place in artistic
modernity. His work is permeated by a singular vision of the world,
with a powerful symbolist dimension that goes beyond the
masterpieces he created in the 1890s, and which gives his art a
great coherence. For Munch, humanity and nature were united in the
cycle of life, death and rebirth, which is reflected in the
unending recurrence of certain motifs and colour combinations in
his work. He wrote: ‘These paintings, which are, admittedly,
relatively difficult to understand, will be […] easier to grasp
if they are integrated into a whole.’ Published to accompany the
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.
