Description

Edvard Munch Trembling Earth explores the Norwegian artist's landscapes, seascapes, and existential environments in light of his own time and ours. This richly illustrated catalogue provides a multifaceted perspective on nature and landscape as a major motif in Munch's oeuvre. The book delves into Munch's depictions of forests, farmland, and the seashore, as well as paintings of sea storms, snow, and other extreme weather. These works present undulating forms that animate nature, often celebrating human interaction with the natural world. The catalogue also considers Munch's less conventional landscapes, including those featuring his famous Scream motif. A unique blend of scientific and metaphysical perspectives on nature is revealed through Munch's writings alongside his images. This volume sheds new light on a neglected aspect of Munch's work, one that remains relevant today in its exploration of human impact on the natural world.
