Book Description
For Edvard Munch (1863-1944), painting was an act of self-liberation. The Scream and other treatments of fear, desperation, and death - beautifully sampled here - still exert a powerful visual and psychological effect on modern viewers. Too individual to be identified with any single movement, Munch is nevertheless considered a pioneer of Expressionism.
