Edvard Munch. The modern eye
9. February - 28. May 2012

Edvard Munch. Der moderne Blick

“Edvard Munch. Der moderne Blick” foregrounds the little researched late works of the artist, proving that Edvard Munch (1863–1944) was as much as an artist of the 20th century as the 19th. The focus is on the artist’s interest in the modern representational techniques of his time, such as photography and film. His works reveal the extent to which he adopted specifically photographic or filmic forms of composition and narration, poses, or even effects, in his paintings. The volume furthermore demonstrates how Munch worked on one and the same subject in different media of painting, drawing, graphic arts, photography, and even sculpture. His frequent return to previously rendered motifs is a crucial key to the understanding of Munch’s work.

Edvard Munch - Art to Hear

This volume in the series Art to Hear is the first book to focus on the artist’s interest in the modern representational techniques of his time, such as photography, film, illustrated magazines, and stage design. The publication proves how his paintings took on specific structural and narrative forms, poses, and even effects used in photography and film. The volume furthermore demonstrates how Munch worked on one and the same subject in painting, print, drawing, photography, and even sculpture. His frequent use of the same motifs is an important key to understanding his work.
