Description

Edvard Munch Masterpieces from Bergen showcases eighteen major works by one of the world's greatest modern artists. This publication accompanies a major exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery, London, and features paintings from the KODE Art Museums in Bergen collection, considered one of the most important collections of Munch paintings worldwide. The book explores this group of remarkable works in detail, considering the role of its collector, Rasmus Meyer, and delves into the artist's early "realist" phase of the 1880s. It also includes seminal paintings from Munch's famous Frieze of Life series, which address profound themes of human existence. Fully illustrated with contributions by leading experts in their field, this publication provides a unique insight into Munch's powerful use of color and form, marking him as one of the most radical painters at the turn of the twentieth century.
