Description: This catalogue accompanies the 1965 retrospective exhibition of the influential Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. Included in the publication are two essays, entitled "The Early Munch" and "The Late Munch." Sigurd Willoch details Munch's early years as a peripatetic artist, conflicted over ill-fated relationships, as well as the early deaths of both his mother and sister. Johan Langaard recounts Munch's later years, secluded in a converted farm on the outskirts of Oslo, where he tirelessly worked until his death in 1944. The catalogue also includes a discussion by Louise Averill Svendsen on Munch's work on paper, a chronology, exhibition history, bibliography, and 54 color and black-and-white reproductions.
