Edvard Munch – Fear
A book with the potential to become a bestseller – Edvard Munch, a key figure in European modernism, and one of his most important themes: fear, the existential feeling. Everyone knows it, fears it, regardless of social and cultural background – but it is also vital, as a driving force and source of energy. Hardly any other painter has captured this feeling as powerfully as he did – an unmistakable work that leaves no one untouched. A pioneer of modernism, a comprehensive and opulent document of a universal emotion! The Norwegian artist addressed the raw, wild and immediate nature of human existence beyond academic teachings. In his works, he focused on feelings and criticism of civilisation. The publication traces the traces of fear in Munch's unparalleled oeuvre through to contemporary art and shows its relevance in all its facets.
