More DescriptionExamining Edvard Munch's influence on his
Austrian and German contemporaries, this book
offers a fascinating new look at the Norwegian
artist, whose painting The Scream has become
a symbol of modern angst. Edvard Munch came of age during an artistic period that
celebrated beauty and design. But in his own art, Munch
explored darker themes--alienation, sin, and human
vulnerability. His resulting work incorporated the vivid colors of
previous styles but intensified their emotional power and paved
the way for an entirely new approach to painting. Although
much has been written about Munch's life and its influence on
his art, there has not been a study of the artist's influence on his
German and Austrian peers--until now.
