Synopsis:
Munch created a body of work - neurotic, intensely personal, sexually obsessed - that looks as modern today as it did at the turn of the century. In works such as "The Kiss" and "The Scream" he created images of great emotional potency. In this book, reproductions of Munch's important paintings, as well as several of his prints and personal and family photographs, provide an insight into his work.
