Reviews
Munch is best known for his iconic work "The Scream," a work that has been reproduced & parodied countless times since its creation, but which still resonates with emotional power even after such popular saturation. Well, there's a lot more to this artist than just one famous work! This collection of his prints is an excellent introduction to a world of raw feeling laid bare, often swathed in blackness & palpable dread. Munch clearly felt & anticipated the alienation & fear of the 20th (and now 21st) century, depicting it with naked intensity. He delves deeply into the darkest places of the human psyche, making it tangible for all to see, whether they want to or not. This isn't always comforting art, but it's revelatory. A recommended volume!
