Description

Following key terms from A-Z, these books illuminate little-known aspects and shed new light on familiar motifs and themes. This time about the artist Edvard Munch.

Edvard Munch: A to Z delves into the life and work of one of the most famous painters of the early 20th century, whose influence persists among artists even today. Munch's legendary painting, Scream, transcends art history to become a cultural icon, even inspiring a popular emoji—a feat no other artist has achieved.

Munch had a distinctive approach by foregrounding his personal experiences within his art, often exploring his psychological state. This method resulted in a deeply personal yet universally resonant "diary of the soul", which continues to intrigue global audiences, as evidenced by international exhibitions of the Norwegian artist.

Edvard Munch: A to Z comprises twenty-six short chapters, exploring themes from A for anxiety to G for ghosts, R for revolvers, and Z for zoo. It presents both familiar and unexpected facets of his art and life in an engaging manner, offering a new perspective on this iconic artist.

About the Author

In his painterly and graphic work Edvard Munch (1863-1944) made feelings and states of mind the subject of his work. In intense colors and expressive figuration, he created a highly individual artistic language that makes his oeuvre as enigmatic as it is appealing. Born in Norway, his travels took him to Paris and Berlin, where he cultivated contacts with important writers, artists, and intellectuals of the time. He spent the end of his life in seclusion in Oslo, where he died in 1944.

The art historian Ulf Küster (*1966, Stuttgart) has worked at the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel since 2004. He has curated internationally acclaimed exhibitions and written numerous publications. His books on Edward Hopper and Piet Mondrian (A-Z series) and Louise Bourgeois (Kunst zum Lesen series) have been published by Hatje Cantz.
