Description
Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner: Anxiety and Expression This book explores the connection between mental illness and the work of two modernist visionaries, Edvard Munch and Ernst Ludwig Kirchner. Both artists struggled with anxiety and depression, and their experiences informed their unique approach to art. Through a collection of prints, etchings, lithographs, and hand-colored woodcuts, this volume puts these two giants of Expressionism in dialogue, highlighting issues of mental health and offering a fresh perspective on the intersection of art and medical treatment. The included essays examine the artistic affinities and divergences between Munch and Kirchner's printmaking techniques. The book features never-before-published prints from select public and private collections across the United States, providing a unique insight into the lives and work of these two influential artists.
