Softcover. The Norton Gallery of Art, 1st, 1986, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 122 pages illustrated in color and b&w. Here the Norton Gallery of Arts Museum shows the exhibition of works by the distinguished Norwegian painter and printmaker Edvard Munch. For him, art must do nothing less than reveal the essential human condition. Having emerged as an accomplished Naturialist painter in the 1880s, he rejected Naturalism in his artistic manifesto of 1889-90. He began to paint images reflecting the stormy human psyche, and arranged his paintings into friezes to better communicate their meaning. At his death in 1944, his legacy included several thousand oil prints, reams of drawings, literary fragments, photographs and sculpture. Light sticker residue to front cover otherwise clean and bright.
