Title: Edvard Munch
Description: 'Edvard Munch : life - love - death' by Marina Vaizey ; 'Edvard Munch' [review of Tate Modern exhibition, 2012] by Edward Lucie-Smith.

This book reviews an exhibition at Tate Modern, June to October, of the great Norwegian artist Edvard Munch (1863-1944), exploring his paintings and graphic work, with their relation to examples of his photography. Munchis distinguished by a highly original sensibility, characterised in nerve-edged works that probe the undercurrents of intimacy, sickness, isolation, loss and death; identifying themes that preoccupied the centralEuropean movement of Expressionism through the Great War into the 1930s. Munch can now be seen as a primary source of a profound psychodrama, playedout through the 20th century and beyond.
