Munch, Paperback / softback Book

Munch Paperback / softback

Part of the Art Masters series

Paperback / softback

Description

An extraordinary and inventive graphic biography, Steffen Kverneland’s Munch explores the relationships and obsessions that drove the artist behind ‘The Scream’.

Using text drawn from the writings of Edvard Munch and his contemporaries, this extensively researched and beautifully drawn graphic novel debunks the familiar myth of the half-mad expressionist painter – anguished, starving and ill-treated – to reveal the artist’s neglected sense of humour and optimism.

Born out of a life-long fascination with all things Munch, Kverneland’s award-winning seven-year project is the funniest and most entertaining portrait yet of a complex man and a pioneering artist. “Munch is a dazzling use of sequential storytelling… Rarely have I read a more entertaining biography.” The Comics Journal
